Past terrestrial hydroclimate sensitivity controlled by Earth system feedbacks

In contrast to future projections, paleoclimate records often find wetter subtropics in tandem with elevated CO2. Here, a compilation of proxies and simulations are used to reveal the climate dynamics and feedbacks responsible for generating wet subtropics during the mid-Pliocene.
