An Optimality-Based Spatial Explicit Ecohydrological Model at Watershed Scale: Model Description and Test in a Semiarid Grassland Ecosystem

Optimality principles have been applied in ecohydrological modeling to derive optimal vegetation properties and describe co-evolution states of vegetation and water cycle. Unfortunately, most existing optimality-based models only consider vertical vegetation-soil-water interactions on plot scale, wi...
