Revisiting the Logistic Growth with Random Disturbances
The logistic growth population model still can help explain ecological phenomena. We consider a simple 1-dimensional model of savanna introduced by D’Odorico, Laio, and Ridolfi [A probabilistic analysis of fire-induced tree-grass coexistence in savannas. The American Naturalist 167, 2006] which is in fact a model of tree-grass coexistence driven by stochastic fire. We provide an appropriate stochastic process for this model and study it using the stochastic semigroup theory. Finally, we give the...
