a, The spatial distribution of F(N) and, b, F(C), depicting the areas influenced by ARA in the past 40 yr (1979–2018). The nodes within TP show high intensity and the spatial pattern is perfectly characterized by the cartographic boundary of the TP (the dashed orange line). c, The crosses depict the nodes’ signals F(N) and, d, F(C) passing the hypothesis test. The 95th percentile of the F(N) and F(C) distributions of the NULL model is considered as the significant threshold. The nodes in the TP with a higher intensity than the threshold are labelled by the crosses. Here, the red colour indicates F(N) and the blue colour stands for F(C).
