Fig. 3: Sensitivity of ecosystem productivity to variability in climatic water deficit (CWD) between 1982 and 2013 globally.
From: Bedrock mediates responses of ecosystem productivity to climate variability
a Shows calculated sensitivity values for the global terrestrial surface; c shows sensitivity values in locations where ecosystem sensitivity values are statistically significant (95% credible interval does not contain zero). b shows the mean ecosystem sensitivity by latitude and d shows the proportion of grid cells at each latitude where sensitivity values are statistically significant. Positive sensitivity (shades of red) implies increased ecosystem productivity in response to higher CWD, while negative values (shades of blue) suggest diminished productivity with higher CWD (i.e., drying, warming, or both).
