Fig. 3

The detrended anomalies in GPP (a–c; shading, unit: gC·m–2d–1) and EVI (d–f; shading, unitless) from April to June in 2023. The anomalies are relative to the climatology of 2001–2022. Hatching indicates anomalies exceeding the 90% confidence level, and the red box spanning from 23–29°N and 102–107°E denotes the study region (similar to Figs. 4 and 5). g Time series of the detrended anomalies of AMJ (i.e., April, May, and June) for the mean GPP and EVI in the red box region from 2001 to 2023. h Monthly evolutions of the GPP and EVI anomalies for 2023. The green and orange shading denotes the 10% and 90% quartiles of the GPP and EVI anomalies, respectively, in the red box region, and the yellow shading denotes the period with significant GPP and EVI anomalies.
