Empirical analysis of vegetation dynamics and the possibility of a catastrophic desertification transition

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 rates yields a system that admits alternative steady states. Some support to this idea comes from the analysis of static pat...
