a Time series of each component of SM budget: rainfall (Rf, red), ground evaporation (Ep, blue), plant transpiration (Tp, yellow), surface runoff (Ro, cadetblue), and internal gravity settling (Gs, gray). b The moisture-equivalent trend of each hydrological component and c the net moisture gain (\(\delta {\mathrm{SM}} = {\mathrm{Rf}} - {\mathrm{Ep}} - {\mathrm{Tp}} - {\mathrm{Ro}} - {\mathrm{Gs}}\)) of the upper layer soil moisture over the periods of early to mid-Holocene (EH to MH) and of mid-to-late Holocene (MH to LH), respectively. Temporal spans of EM, MH, and LH are illustrated with vertical dashed lines in a.
