Numerical techniques are widely used to simulate population dynamics in space. In vegetation dynamics, these techniques are very useful to investigate how plants grow …
Reaction-diffusion models describing interactions between vegetation and water reveal the emergence of several types of patterns and travelling wave solutions corresponding to …
The emergence and maintenance of tree species diversity in tropical forests is commonly attributed to the Janzen–Connell (JC) hypothesis, which states that growth of seedlings is …
Abstract Fairy Circles (FCs) are roughly circular, spatially periodic barren patches occurring both along the southwestern African coast, spanning the Namib Desert (NFCs), and in the …
