Extended Data Fig. 3: Correlation plot representing the coefficient of daily ET to various environmental drivers.
From: Dominant role of soil moisture in mediating carbon and water fluxes in dryland ecosystems
Each row represents a different flux tower site, while the last row represents the mean across sites. Sites are arranged (top to bottom) in order of decreasing aridity (mean climatic water deficit). Color, point size, and number indicates the Pearson’s R correlation coefficient. Missing values indicate a lack of data for that variable. ‘n.s.’ indicates a non-significant relationship (α = 0.05). Deep VWC correlations for US-Whs were excluded due to their limited temporal record.
