Extended Data Fig. 8: Soil structure effect on bare-soil evaporation and plant transpiration.
From: Evapotranspiration frequently increases during droughts
(a–c) The probability of ET, bare-soil evaporation (E), and transpiration (T) increase during droughts as a function of the aridity index, respectively. (d-f) are similar to (a-c) but as a function of the LAImax. We calculated \(P(E_{drought}^ + )\) and \(P\left( {T_{drought}^ + } \right)\) in the same way as \(P(ET_{drought}^ + )\). That is, each is calculated as the number of drought months with positive E (or T) anomalies divided by the total number of drought months at each grid cell.
