Modelling the influence of mechanical-ecohydrological feedback on the nonlinear dynamics of peatlands (2023)
Journal Article
Mahdiyasa, A. W., Large, D. J., Muljadi, B. P., & Icardi, M. (2023). Modelling the influence of mechanical-ecohydrological feedback on the nonlinear dynamics of peatlands. Ecological Modelling, 478, Article 110299. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2023.110299

Peatlands are complex systems that exhibit nonlinear dynamics due to internal and external feedback mechanisms. However, the feedback of vegetation on peat volume changes that potentially affect peatland dynamics is not well understood. Here, we anal...
