a,b,d,e,g,h, The spatial pattern of the partial correlation between temperature and GPP (a,b), TER (d,e) and NEE (g,h) for the periods 1982–2003 (a,d,g) and 2004–2018 (b,e,h), calculated by controlling for SM, cloudiness and VPD. The black line on the map represents the extent of the cooling area. The colour bar represents the magnitude of the correlation coefficient. c,f,i, Partial correlation between spatially averaged temperature and GPP (c), TER (f) and NEE (i) in the NH, CAs and WAs for the two periods. Red circles represent the period 1982–2003, and blue circles indicate the period 2004–2018. A filled circle indicates a significant correlation at P < 0.1, and an open circle indicates insignificance. Maps in a,b,d,e,g,h were generated using ArcGIS (version 10.7). Copyright © 1995–2019 Esri.
