Fig. 4. Identifying drivers of global patterns of vegetation physiological anomalies under drought.

Fig. 4

Considered drivers include mean climate and vegetation characteristics (in red), drought-related hydro-meteorological anomalies and drought duration (in blue). Results show their relevance in explaining the spatial variability of anomalies in a SIFrel physiology (SIFrel physio, unitless), b ET physiology (ET physio, Wm-2) and c VOD ratio (unitless) during drought development. df Similar as in (ac) but for drought recovery periods where we consider drought-development (Dev.) and recovery (Recov.) related drought duration and hydro-meteorological anomalies. The unit of relative importance is the same for each physiological variable. Radiation refers to incoming shortwave radiation. * denotes the variables in the top 5 ranking in SHAP importance results are consistent with correlation results in Fig. S14.
