Observations and multi-model ensemble means of (a) LAI, (b) SM1 and (c) SM2. d Observations and GAM model predicted GWS based on multi-model ensemble mean of GWS. e Relative changes (%) of P, ET, R, LAI, SM1, SM2, GWS during 2003-2020 compared to the 1987−1998 baseline period. f Projected relative changes (%) of P, ET, R, LAI, SM1, SM2, GWS for 2015-2100 compared to 1987-2014 baseline, based on CMIP6 multi-model simulations. The shaded areas in a-d represent the standard error of the multi-model ensemble data.
