Empirical analysis of vegetation dynamics and the possibility of a catastrophic desertification transition
Haim Weissmann, Rafi Kent, Yaron Michael +1
The process of desertification in the semi-arid climatic zone is considered by many as a catastrophic regime shift, since the positive feedback of vegetation density on growth rate…

Predicting catastrophic shifts
Haim Weissmann, Nadav M. Shnerb
Catastrophic transitions, where a system shifts abruptly between alternate steady states, are a generic feature of many nonlinear systems. Recently these regime shift were suggeste…

Stochastic Desertification
Haim Weissmann, Nadav M. Shnerb
The process of desertification is usually modeled as a first order transition, where a change of an external parameter (e.g. precipitation) leads to a catastrophic bifurcation foll…
