Extended Data Table 2 Summary of the mean Q1-3 and mean KS D-values for the eight ecosystem variables (air temperature, TA; total precipitation, TP; snow depth, SD; and soil moisture, SM; vegetation biomass, VB; soil carbon, SC net primary production, NPP; and heterotrophic respiration, RH). ‘INTERACT’ refers to the INTERACT network with all stations above 59°N included, ‘INTERACTWR’ to the INTERACT network without the Russian stations, and ‘Arctic 2020’ to the pan-Arctic conditions during the period 2016–2020. ‘Arctic 2100’ refers to the projected shift in ecosystem conditions between contemporary (2016–2020) and future (2096–2100)
