Preface
Chapter 1 Overview
This chapter presents an overview of research gaps and status quo as well as the practical
application needs.
Chapter 2 Physical Processes
This chapter elaborates classifications of semiarid water-soil-vegetation systems,
interrelated physical processes of the systems, and driving factors for the processes.
Chapter 3 Conceptualizations
This chapter discusses approaches to conceptualize semiarid water-soil-vegetation
systems and related assumptions. Also, it presents the mathematical equations and
algorithms that govern the physical processes.
Chapter 4 Mathematical Models
This chapter introduces the existing models and their application conditions. In this
regard, a set of model selection criteria will be articulated. Also, this chapter presents how
to develop new algorithms to improve existing models.
Chapter 5 Case Studies
This chapter presents a variety of case studies to advance the relevant knowledge and
demonstrate how to model semiarid water-soil-vegetation systems. For each case study,
the scientific questions and hypotheses are formulated and answered in terms of the
modeling results.
Chapter 6 Overall Conclusions and Discussion
This chapter summarizes and discusses the findings from the previous five chapters as well
as highlights future research.
