Fig. 4: Impact of Snow fraction and cropland percentage on water-energy balance.
From: Impacts of agriculture and snow dynamics on catchment water balance in the U.S. and Great Britain
The analysis of snow fraction (SF) and cropland percentage (CL%) and their associations with casual relationships between streamflow-aridity-precipitation. a, b present snow fraction analysis for the US and GB, respectively. c, d depict the analysis of CL% for the US and GB, respectively. The points are stratified by shades of blue and red colors across the first and second rows to distinguish between the impacts of SF and CL%. The y-axes represent the deviations from the Budyko curve (i.e., streamflow anomalies), while x-axes indicate the causal strength between aridity/precipitation and streamflow. Only significant patterns are presented here for brevity, and additional details can be found in Supplementary Figs. 2 and 3.
