Fig. 3: Vegetation-induced changes in the annual temperature range.
From: Biophysical impacts of northern vegetation changes on seasonal warming patterns
Anomalies of observed (brown, from the Princeton Global Meteorological Forcing product) and IPSL-CM-simulated (purple, from the dynamic vegetation experiment SCE) annual ranges of Northern Hemisphere (NH) land mean air temperature (Ta). The bold brown curve indicates the 10-year running mean of the observed annual Ta range. The green curve indicates the simulated annual Ta range induced by leaf area index (LAI) changes in all growing seasons combined. *p < 0.1; n.s., p > 0.1.
