Vegetation Transition Models

Vegetation Transition Models is a computational or mathematical framework that belongs to the class of ecological prediction models and is specifically designed to represent and simulate the dynamics, trajectories, and thresholds of shifts between vegetation states—particularly the progressive replacement of grasslands or savannas by woody plant-dominated ecosystems—by integrating biotic, abiotic, and anthropogenic drivers over time and space.
