Fig. 3: Lengthening of water-limited periods across the globe from 1980 to 2100.
From: Widespread shift from ecosystem energy to water limitation with climate change
The central panel displays trends of the number of water-limited months-of-year expressed as Theil–Sen slope across decades (dots indicate significance: P < 0.05 based on Kendall’s tau statistic; Methods). Grey denotes regions where no significant changes in the length of the water-limited season were detected. Side panels show the multimodel mean month-of-year ELI evolution in the regions of interest (Methods). White colour denotes cold months (Ta < 10 °C). This figure is created with the ggplot2 package and the country borders using the maptools package73,74.
