Mean annual and seasonal cycle of averaged temperature change over the four climate zones induced by the combined change in LAI and climate under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways SSP585 scenario. The median of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6) ensembles is shown in a, b, and c while the distribution of the entire CMIP6 ensemble is shown in the boxplots, in which the box represents the first, second (median) and third quartiles (whiskers indicate the 99% confidence interval). Black lines in d, e, f, and g are the medians of CMIP6 model ensemble when accounting for both LAI and climate change (All effects), whereas brown lines represent the impact of future greening under current climate conditions (LAI effect). The impact of changing the climate conditions at constant LAI is shown by the green line (Climate change effect). Grey, green and brown envelopes show the min and max temperature change in the CMIP6 model ensemble. In the All effects b, the impact of incoming solar radiation (Solar), evaporation (Evap), and snow cover (Snow) are shown by boxplots.
