Dryland mobile (green ball) and the critical transition to settled agro-pastoralism (orange ball) in the context of SWI development. Climate change and socio-economic trends are external parameters to the system, acting on decreasing the structural resilience of agro-pastoralists. SWI development and mobility are internal variables, contributing respectively to reinforcing and balancing water shortage through feedback internal to the system.
