Extended Data Table. 1 Observed and simulated trends in surface soil moisture content over southern Central Asia

From: Agricultural drought over water-scarce Central Asia aggravated by internal climate variability

  1. The trends in surface soil moisture content (%/decade) over southern Central Asia in P1 (1950–1992) and P2 (1992–2020). The numbers in brackets denote the interquartile range (25–75%) among all members. For trends without interquartile range, ** denotes the trend significant at the 99% confidence level (p < 0.01); * denotes trend significant at the 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). EM: the trend for the ensemble mean; IPO-induced: the trend induced by the observational IPO evolution; Adjusted: the trend after adjustment.
