Modeling semi-arid water-soil-vegetation systems. (2022)

• Record Type: Book
• Further Information: Note: Xixi Wang.
• Authors: Wang, Xixi
• Contents: PrefaceChapter 1 OverviewThis chapter presents an overview of research gaps and status quo as well as the practical application needs. Chapter 2 Physical ProcessesThis chapter elaborates classifications of semiarid water-soil-vegetation systems, interrelated physical processes of the systems, and driving factors for the processes. Chapter 3 Conceptualizations This chapter discusses approaches to conceptualize semiarid water-soil-vegetation systems and related assumptions. Also, it presents the mathematical equations and algorithms that govern the physical processes. Chapter 4 Mathematical ModelsThis chapter introduces the existing models and their application conditions. In this regard, a set of model selection criteria will be articulated. Also, this chapter presents how to develop new algorithms to improve existing models. Chapter 5 Case Studies This chapter presents a variety of case studies to advance the relevant knowledge and demonstrate how to model semiarid water-soil-vegetation systems. For each case study, the scientific questions and hypotheses are formulated and answered in terms of the modeling results. Chapter 6 Overall Conclusions and DiscussionThis chapter summarizes and discusses the findings from the previous five chapters as well as highlights future research.
