Substantial enhanced radial growth after extreme wetness. Enhanced/reduced growth (unitless) after extreme wet/drought years was observed across 1929 tree-ring chronologies using the SPEI a, P−PET c, and soil moisture (for the 0–100 cm soil depth) e. Enhanced growth across sites that were significantly correlated with climate indices were reclassified into different mean annual precipitation bins and gymnosperm and angiosperm forest types b, d, f. Error bars represent the 95% confidence interval around the mean from bootstrapping (n = 5000 resamplings). *: tree-ring sites that were significantly correlated with climate indices (n = 631,612,773 for the SPEI, P−PET, and soil moisture, respectively) **: all tree-ring sites (n = 1929). P−PET: precipitation minus potential evapotranspiration, SSPEI: Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index
