Fig. 4: The responses of vegetation productivity and hydrological variables to CWD events in mid-latitudes (23.5–50°N/S).
From: Regional asymmetry in the response of global vegetation growth to springtime compound climate events
a–c The average standardized anomalies (z-score) of GPP during CWD spring but subsequent non-CWD summer (a), non-CWD spring but subsequent CWD summer (b), and consecutive CWD spring and summer (c) for areas in Fig. 2a where summer vegetation responds negatively (r ≤ −0.22) to spring CWD climate conditions. d–f The same as a–c, but for soil moisture. g–i The same as a–c, but for runoff. The bar plots with dash lines (without dash line) indicate the average anomalies of multiple observation-based (model-based) products, and the circles indicate the average anomalies of each product. For details on data see Fig. 3.
