Impulsive fire disturbance in a savanna model: Tree-grass coexistence states, multiple stable system states, and resilience

Alanna Hoyer-Leitzel, Sarah Iams

Savanna ecosystems are shaped by the frequency and intensity of regular fires. We model savannas via an ordinary differential equation (ODE) encoding a one-sided inhibitory Lotka-V…

Model and Data Reduction for Data Assimilation: Particle Filters Employing Projected Forecasts and Data with Application to a Shallow Water Model

Aishah Albarakati, Marko Budišić, Rose Crocker +6

The understanding of nonlinear, high dimensional flows, e.g, atmospheric and ocean flows, is critical to address the impacts of global climate change. Data Assimilation techniques…

A Fast-Slow Model of Banded Vegetation Pattern Formation in Drylands

Punit Gandhi, Sara Bonetti, Sarah Iams +2

From infiltration of water into the soil during rainstorms to seasonal plant growth and death, the ecohydrological processes that are thought to be relevant to the formation of ban…

Quantifying resilience to recurrent ecosystem disturbances using flow-kick dynamics

Katherine Meyer, Alanna Hoyer-Leitzel, Sarah Iams +5

Shifting ecosystem disturbance patterns due to climate change (e.g. storms, droughts, wildfires) or direct human interference (e.g. harvests, nutrient loading) highlight the import…
