project outline

add short description of the model!

In which way does your model help us to improve our understanding of the mechanisms and processes that cause sudden shifts in dryland ecosystems?

to be answered by model developer

Has your model helped to identify early warning signals and indicators for sudden shifts in drylands? If so, which ones?

to be answered by model developer

Can your model predict where, when and under which conditions catastrophic shifts are likely to occur in European drylands?

to be answered by model developer

Can your model simulate what effect SLM measures would have? Can your models tell us which sustainable land management (SLM) measures should be taken to prevent shifts?

to be answered by model developer

Does your model provide any information on possibilities for restoration if a tipping point has already occurred?
