Nonlinear instability and sensitivity of a theoretical grassland ecosystem to finite-amplitude perturbations
Within a theoretical model context, the sensitivity and instability of the grassland ecosystem to finite-amplitude perturbations are studied. A new approach of conditional nonlinear optimal perturbations (CNOPs) is adopted to investigate this nonlinear problem. It is shown that the linearly stable...
