Fig. 5

Distribution of the ΔTa (air temperature) trend in the space of the ΔSM (soil moisture) trend and the Δz500 (500 hPa geopotential height) trend, all induced by MAM (a, d, g), JJA (b, e, h), and SON (c, f, i) leaf area index (LAI) changes. Marginal curves indicate the partial dependence of the ΔTa trend on the ΔSM trend (top) and the Δz500 trend (left). MAM March-April-May, JJA June-July-August, SON September-October-November, DJF December-January-February.
