Fig. 3: Fire-related changes in EQAS, 2001–2021.
From: Fire carbon emissions over Equatorial Asia reduced by shortened dry seasons
a–c, Monthly trends in precipitation (a), fire carbon emissions (b), and fire counts (c). Error bars indicate the standard error of linear trends. d Spatial trends in fire carbon emissions in August 2001–2021. Only grid points with annual mean fire carbon emissions >0.001 Tg C for 2001–2021 are shown. Black dots indicate grids with a significant linear trend (p < 0.1). The inset shows the annual average fire carbon emissions and their linear trend in August. The numbers show the linear trend (Tg C decade−1) and standard error of fire carbon emissions. e–g Exponential fitting of precipitation for May–August to fire carbon emissions (e) and fire counts (f) in August. Linear fitting of precipitation for May–August to terrestrial water storage (TWS) (g) in August. The TWS is for the period 2003–2021. The coefficient of determination (R2) are shown in the top right corners. Shading indicates 95% confidence intervals. *p < 0.1; **p < 0.05; ***p < 0.01.
