A simple bistable model for reforestation in semi-arid zones, or how to turn a wasteland into a forest

Abstract

The advance of deforestation worldwide necessitates the development of models that facilitate reforestation, especially in areas where access to water is limited. To this end we have developed a model based on two ODEs, one for soil moisture (loamy sand type) and the other for plant biomass of Pinus halepensis. These conditions are typical of Southeastern Spain.
