Extended Data Fig. 7: Opposing perspectives on drivers of NBP IAV reconciled by soil moisture–atmosphere feedback.
From: Soil moisture–atmosphere feedback dominates land carbon uptake variability
a, Relative magnitude of individual NBP components across spatial scales (same as Fig. 3b). b, c, The apparent relative importance of the meteorological drivers depends on how the indirect effects of soil moisture on temperature and VPD are viewed. Outer uncertainty bounds indicate the model spread (ensemble mean ±1σ), inner uncertainty bounds indicate the spread (±1σ) in the tendency (that is, the relative change from local to global scale; see Methods).
