a Spatial distribution of the multi-model ensemble mean of future soil moisture changes (ΔSM, %) by 2070–2099 relative to 1980–2014 and its uncertainty (inter-model standard deviation, σ) based on the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) outputs under the SSP5-8.5 scenario (Supplementary Table 1). b Latitudinal mean of ΔSM (black) and the associated uncertainty (gray). c, d Histogram (normalized scale of relative frequency) of grid-level σ and ΔSM across global land areas, respectively.
