A simple ecohydrological model captures essentials of seasonal leaf dynamics in semi-arid tropical grasslands
Modelling leaf phenology in water-controlled ecosystems remains a difficult task because of high spatial and temporal variability in the interaction of plant growth and soil moisture. Here, we move beyond widely used linear models to examine the performance of low-dimensional, nonlinear ecohydrologi...
