Fig. 4 — (A) Spring (March to May), (B) summer (June to August), and (C) fall (September to October). The base map shows the trend in changes of the satellite-observed LAI during the corresponding season from 1982 to 2011. Blue solid arrows denote the climatological wind fields in the low-level troposphere. The red dashed arrows are the significant trend of the low-level troposphere composited wind fields caused by vegetation changes (that is, experiment − control: SCE − CTL), which was summarized from the spatial pattern of significant change in circulation such as fig. S10. Arrows denoting vegetation-induced changes in ET and Pre were drawn only when the trend was significant in at least 1 month of the corresponding season according to fig. S8 (B and C).
