Short summary
Using long-term satellite greenness data and a machine-learning attribution approach, we assessed vegetation responses to wet and dry soil moisture extremes and identified their dominant drivers. Dry extremes caused widespread negative greenness anomalies mainly controlled by pre-extreme conditions and seasonal timing, while wet extremes showed more heterogeneous responses additionally shaped by climate and topography, highlighting contrasting ecosystem sensitivity to hydrological extremes.
