Fig. 6: Changes in soil and atmospheric water during the 2023 extreme events and their relative roles on vegetation growth.

From: Synergistic effects of high atmospheric and soil dryness on record-breaking decreases in vegetation productivity over Southwest China in 2023

Fig. 6

Anomalies in the volumetric soil water content throughout the whole layer (a–c; shading, unit: m3 m–3) and VPD (d–f; shading, unit: kPa). The anomalies are relative to the climatology of 2001–2022. Hatching indicates anomalies exceeding the 90% confidence levels. Partial correlation coefficients of SM and VPD with GPP g and EVI h over different vegetation types over the SWC. The marker ‘**’ indicates a p-value less than 0.01.
