Introduction
At the workshop, we will discuss the important processes needed to represent drylands in a low-dimensional (i.e., “as simple as feasible”) process-inspired model, which will mainline Jornada insights while also representing global drylands. This process-inspired model includes at least wind and water connectivity, woody-herbaceous demographics and spatial-temporal impacts of soils, climate, herbivory and other disturbances, and how these can contribute to state-changes.
