	This August 2000 image shows the latest NDVI anomaly data available for North America. The area of stressed vegetation in the Rocky Mountains has intensified and spread compared to July 2000. It is likely that smoke from the fires that burned throughout August caused the extremely low values of NDVI anomaly shown in Idaho and Montana.
