Fig. 2: Runoff changes caused by indirect forest-atmosphere feedbacks and direct land surface effects of global potential forestation.
From: Latitudinal divergence in runoff responses to global forestation due to forest-atmosphere feedbacks
a, c Geographical patterns of runoff changes associated with forest-atmosphere feedbacks (\(\triangle {R}_{{atm}}\); a) and land surface changes (\(\triangle {R}_{{land}}\); c) respectively. Shown are the mean results of the two Penman-based PET algorithms. The insets display the bar plots of global mean of \(\triangle {R}_{{atm}}\) and \(\triangle {R}_{{land}}\) based on the mean result of two PET estimates, respectively. Estimates by Penman-OW and PM-RC are shown as circles and triangles, respectively. Numbers show the percent change in runoff relative to CTL-simulated runoff. b, d Distribution of \(\triangle {R}_{{atm}}\) (b) and \(\triangle {R}_{{land}}\) (d) in the space of annual mean temperature and dryness index (PET/P) in CTL. Marginal curves indicate the partial dependence of the \(\triangle {R}_{{atm}}\) or \(\triangle {R}_{{land}}\) on temperature (top) and PET/P (right). The PET value is the mean estimates of the two Penman-based PET algorithms.
