Description: Projected changes in average soil moisture, which is a predictor for issues like flooding, fires, drought, and agricultural failure. The standard deviation measure is commonly used to measure drought, where a -1 standard deviation means soil moisture will be the same as droughts that occurred once every six years between 1850 and 1900. Data is taken from AR6 SPM.5d: Fig. SPM.5d on page SPM-22 of Climate Change 2021 / The Physical Science Basis / Working Group I contribution to the WGI Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change / Summary for Policymakers.
