摘要

In this study, we present a stochastic landscape modeling approach that has the powerto transfer and integrate existing information on vegetation dynamics and hydrologicalprocesses from the small scale to the landscape scale. To include microscale processes likeecohydrological feedback mechanisms and spatial exchange like surface water flow, wederive transition probabilities from a fine-scale simulation model. We applied two versionsof the landscape model, one that includes and one that disregards spatial exchange ofwater to the situation of a sustainably used research farm and communally used anddegraded rangeland in semiarid Namibia. Our simulation experiments show that includingspatial exchange of overland flow among vegetation patches into our model is aprecondition to reproduce vegetation dynamics, composition, and productivity, as well ashydrological processes at the landscape scale. In the model version that includes spatialexchange of water, biomass production at light grazing intensities increases 2.24-foldcompared to the model without overland flow. In contrast, overgrazing destabilizespositive feedbacks through vegetation and hydrology and decreases the number ofhydrological sinks in the model with overland flow. The buffer capacity of thesehydrological sinks disappears and runoff increases. Here, both models predicted runofflosses from the system and artificial droughts occurring even in years with goodprecipitation. Overall, our study reveals that a thorough understanding of overland flow isan important precondition for improving the management of semiarid and arid rangelandswith distinct topography.
