Thresholds of GeoDiversity: Concepts and methods for identifying Desert Boundaries in Heterogeneous Spatio-temporal patterns. Desert thresholds are narrow zones of spatial instability (irreversible transition) between semi-arid and arid regions. Identifying shifts in these zones are indicators of Climate change and Desertification. Read more Mutuality in Vegetation and Soil Patch Pattern Dynamics Mutual variations in soil and vegetation pattern characteristics have not received much attention despite their role in the evolution of eco-geomorphic systems. Read more Self-Organization in Patch Pattern Dynamics by Spatial Embeddedness (Israel Science Foundation Research 2012-2015). Self-organization is a crucial life-supporting mechanism facilitating the evolution of equilibrium and order.
