Desertification by front propagation?
Understanding how desertification takes place in different ecosystems is an important step in attempting to forecast and prevent such transitions. Dryland ecosystems often exhibit patchy vegetation, which has been shown to be an important factor on the possible regime shifts that occur in arid regions in several model studies. In particular, both gradual shifts that occur by front propagation, ...

متن کاملFront propagation into unstable states
This paper is an introductory review of the problem of front propagation into unstable states. Our presentation is centered around the concept of the asymptotic linear spreading velocity v∗, the asymptotic rate with which initially localized perturbations spread into an unstable state according to the linear dynamical equations obtained by linearizing the fully nonlinear equations about the uns...

متن کاملProgress in front propagation research
We review the progress in the field of front propagation in recent years. We survey many physical, biophysical and crossdisciplinary applications, including reduced-variable models of combustion flames, Reid’s paradox of rapid forest range expansions, the European colonization of North America during the XIX century, the Neolithic transition in Europe from 13,000 to 5,000 years before present, ...
