             abstract = "Southeastern South America is subject to considerable 
                         precipitation variability on seasonal to decadal timescales and 
                         has undergone very heavy land-cover changes (LCCs) since the 
                         middle of the past century. The influence of local LCC and 
                         precipitation as drivers of regional evapotranspiration (ET) 
                         long-term trends and variability remains largely unknown in the 
                         region. Here, ensembles of stand-alone dynamic global vegetation 
                         models (DGVMs) with different atmospheric forcings are used to 
                         disentangle the influence of those two drivers on austral summer 
                         ET from 1950 to 2010. This paper examines the influence of both 
                         the El Niņo-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the dipole-like 
                         first-mode of southeastern South American precipitation 
                         variability (EOF1) on regional ET. We found that in the lower La 
                         Plata Basin, ET was driven by precipitation variability and showed 
                         a positive summer trend. Moreover, the region showed marked 
                         seasonal anomalies during El Niņo and La Niņa summers but mainly 
                         during EOF1 phases. On the contrary, in the upper La Plata Basin, 
                         LCCs forced the negative summer ET trend and particularly reduced 
                         the summer anomalies of the late 1990s, a period of ENSO and 
                         EOF1-positive phases. In the South Atlantic Convergence Zone 
                         region, the high ET uncertainty across ensemble members impeded 
                         finding robust results, which highlights the importance of using 
                         multiple DGVMs and atmospheric forcings instead of relying on 
                         single model/forcing results.",
