! Supporting Information Table S1. Trend statistics in ET median values for the observation-based estimates (DIA) and MsTMIP simulated results over different regions from 1982-2010. The DIA only has the ET trends, and MsTMIP simulations have the trends of ET, Tr and ET-Tr. The factorial results from the MsTMIP multi-model are ALL: the impact from all historical forcing factors, CLI: the impact from historical climate only, OTH: all the anthropogenic impact, CO2: the historical CO2 impact only, NDE: the historical nitrogen deposition impact only, LUC: the historical land use/land cover change impact only, Y: the availability of ET simulation for the particular impact, and N: the non-availability of ET simulation for the particular impact. Values in bold indicate statistically significant trend at the 90% level. Figure S1. Time series of annual anomalies of ET (mm yr−1) over (a) the globe, (b) the NH, and (c) the SH from 1982-2010. Solid lines are the median values of the merged ET from this study (ET_DIA, red), and the merged ET (Mueller, blue) from Mueller et al (2013). Shaded areas indicate the ±1 s.d. of ET_DIA for the overlapped period of the two datasets (1989-2005). Figure S2. Trends of global-, NH-, SH- and continental-scale ET (mm/yr-2) for DIA, ALL, CLI, OTH, CO2, NDE and LUC results. *P < 0.05 for the trend in ET median values being significantly different from zero. For each category of the model results, the color bar represents the trend in ET median values of the individual model. The error bars indicate the mean±1 s.d. of ET trend for individual model within each category. The pink colors represent the positive trends and the blue colors denote the negative changes. Figure S3. Spatial distribution of the linear trends in LAI (m-2/m-2/yr) for (a) CO2 result (LAI_CO2), and (b) NDE result (LAI_NDE) from 1982-2010. Figure S4. Spatial distribution of the linear trends in (a) ALL Tr (ALL_Tr), (b) ALL ETTr (ET-Tr_ALL), (d) CLI Tr (CLI_Tr), (e) CLI ET-Tr (ET-Tr_CLI), (g) OTH Tr (OTH_Tr), (h) OTH ET-Tr (ET-Tr_OTH), (j) CO2 Tr (CO2_Tr), (k) CO2 ET-Tr (ETTr_ CO2), (m) NDE Tr (NDE_Tr), (n) NDE ET-Tr (ET-Tr_NDE), (p) LUC Tr (LUC_Tr), and (q) LUC ET-Tr (ET-Tr_LUC). The unit of Tr and ET-Tr trend is mm/yr-2. (c), (f), (i), (l), (o) and (r) show the spatial distribution of the dominant component (Tr or ET-Tr) for the ET changes of each category. The insets show the frequency distribution of the corresponding change. Figure S5. Trends of global-, NH-, SH- and continental-scale ET, Tr and ET-Tr (mm/yr2 ). The results of ALL, CLI and OTH are associated with the left y axis, and those of CO2, NDE and LUC correspond to the right y axis. For each category of the model results, the color bar represents the trend in ET, Tr or ET-Tr median values of the individual model. The error bars indicate the mean±1 s.d. of ET, Tr or ET-Tr trend for individual model within each category. The pink colors represent the positive trends and the blue colors denote the negative changes.
