Short summary
A generalized linear method specifically designed to assess the reciprocal forcing between climate fields is applied to the latest available observational global data sets of precipitation, evapotranspiration, vegetation and soil moisture. The analysis evidences a robust coupling between soil moisture and precipitation and strong links with volcanic eruptions and El Niño cycles, mediated by the feedbacks of evapotranspiration and vegetation.
