Fig. 2: Spatial distributions of changes in Tsoil in years with shortened snow cover duration compared to the long-term mean.

The spatial distributions of the differences in Tsoil between years with shortened snow cover duration and long-term mean (ΔTsoil for every 10-day shortened snow cover duration). a Topsoil 0–7 cm of ERA data; b subsoil 7–28 cm of ERA data; c topsoil 0–10 cm of MERRA data; d subsoil 10–20 cm of MERRA data; e topsoil 0–5 cm of GLDAS data; f subsoil 5–20 cm of GLDAS data. Black points indicate the significant changes in Tsoil (p < 0.05). The relative frequency (%) distribution of ΔTsoil in the center of the insets: significant decreases (Neg*), significant increases (Pos*), insignificant decreases (Neg), insignificant increases (Pos).
