Extended Data Fig. 2: Seasonal contrasts in the response of water availability (P–E) to afforestation.

a, Seasonal variations in the multi-year (2001–2018) mean P − E (yellow line) and the P − E response to afforestation (green line) at a selected location of 6° N, 72° W. bd, Impacts of afforestation on the annual range of P − E ((P − E)range) (b), the wet season P–E ((P–E)wet) (c) and the dry season P–E ((P–E)dry) (d) are shown. The violet star in b denotes the selected location of 6° N, 72° W. The pie chart insets show the proportion (%) of land area with a positive (green) or negative (yellow) response. The land area is calculated using a spatially weighted mean to account for the change in pixel size with latitude. e, Combined impacts of afforestation on (P–E)wet and (P–E)dry, and the corresponding proportions (%) of land area are shown in the pie chart inset. The results are calculated based on the Duveiller et al.33 and Link et al.34 datasets.
