Modeling the response of the marine carbon cycle to extreme CO injection events

Punit Gandhi, Rowan Lockwood, Corinne Myers +4

We explore how the response of a conceptual model of the marine carbon cycle depends on the way in which carbon is injected from the atmosphere. We find that, for single-injection…

A flow-kick model of dryland vegetation patterns: the impact of rainfall variability on resilience

Punit Gandhi, Matthew Oline, Mary Silber

In many drylands around the globe, vegetation self-organizes into regular spatial patterns in response to aridity stress. We consider the regularly-spaced vegetation bands, on gent…

A Pulsed-Precipitation Model of Dryland Vegetation Pattern Formation

Punit Gandhi, Lily Liu, Mary Silber

We develop a model for investigating the impact of rainstorm variability on the formation of banded vegetation patterns in dryland ecosystems. Water input, during rare rainstorms,…

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…

Vegetation Pattern Formation in Drylands

Punit Gandhi, Sarah Iams, Sara Bonetti +1

This is a book chapter, written as a contribution to a new edition of "Dryland Ecohydrology", edited by Paolo D'Odorico, Amilcare Porporato, and Christiane Runyan, (to appear, Spri…

A topographic mechanism for arcing of dryland vegetation bands

Punit Gandhi, Lucien Werner, Sarah Iams +2

Banded patterns consisting of alternating bare soil and dense vegetation have been observed in water-limited ecosystems across the globe, often appearing along gently sloped terrai…
