Short summary
Understanding causality in Earth-system processes is challenging because multiple drivers act simultaneously and can distort causal estimates. We develop a diagnostic framework using controlled experiments and real land–atmosphere data to identify when external drivers affect how one variable influences another (via Liang–Kleeman Information Flow). This influence depends on system stress, guiding when multivariate conditioning is necessary.
