List of data provided

---------------------------------------------------

This dataset contains:

- Annual mean temperature change (°C) (relative to 1850-1900)

- Annual mean precipitation change (%) (relative to 1850-1900)

- Annual mean soil moisture change (standard deviation of interannual variability) (relative to 1850-1900)

The data is given for global warming levels (GWLs), namely +1.0°C (temperature only), +1.5°C, 2.0°C, and +4.0°C.
