Journal ArticleOn Transient Semi‐Arid Ecosystem Dynamics Using Landlab: Vegetation Shifts, Topographic Refugia, and Response to ClimateNudurupati, Sai S.; Istanbulluoglu, Erkan; Tucker, Gregory E.; Gasparini, Nicole M.; Hobley, Daniel E.; Hutton, Eric W.; Barnhart, Katherine R.; Adams, Jordan M.Key Points Modeled ecosystem response to climate follows the “geo‐ecological law of distribution,” highlights the importance of ecohdyrologic refugia Woody Plant Encroachment is predicted as a three‐phase phenomenon: early establishment, rapid expansion, and woody plant equilibrium Regime shifts from grassland to shrubland are marked by vegetation cover thresholds2023-04-0110463995Water Resources Research5940043-1397https://doi.org/10.1029/2021WR0311792103632; 1831623; 1655499National Science Foundation
