  • Title: Stochastic resonance and coherence resonance in groundwater-dependent plant ecosystems.
    Author: Borgogno F, D'Odorico P, Laio F, Ridolfi L.
    Journal: J Theor Biol; 2012 Jan 21; 293():65-73. PubMed ID: 21968441.
    Abstract:
    Several studies have shown that non-linear deterministic dynamical systems forced by external random components can give rise to unexpectedly regular temporal behaviors. Stochastic resonance and coherence resonance, the two best known processes of this type, have been studied in a number of physical and chemical systems. Here, we explore their possible occurrence in the dynamics of groundwater-dependent plant ecosystems. To this end, we develop two eco-hydrological models, which allow us to demonstrate that stochastic and coherence resonance may emerge in the dynamics of phreatophyte vegetation, depending on their deterministic properties and the intensity of external stochastic drivers.
