Modeling Dryland Landscapes

Abstract: Abstract. The discovery of nearly periodic vegetation patterns in arid and semi-arid regions motivated numerous model studies in the past decade. Most studies have focused on vegetation pattern formation, and on the response of vegetation patterns to gradients of the limiting water resource. The reciprocal question, what resource modifications are induced by vegetation pattern formation, which is essential to the understanding of dryland landscapes, has hardly been addressed. This paper is a synthetic review o… Show more

“…These universal aspects are expected to appear in more detailed ecosystem models as well (Borgogno et al 2009;Meron 2011a). Extending this study to such models can provide information about the dependence of the front velocity and of the snaking structure on specific ecological and physical parameters, such as various plant traits, soil properties, topography, and environmental stresses.…”

“…Vegetation pattern dynamics associate with long-range competition over the limited water and nutrient resources, which are spatial heterogeneous distribution in the arid region (Valentin et al, 1999;Rietkerk and van de Koppel, 2008;Meron, 2011;Yizhaq et al, 2014). Many authors had inferred from their observations that the banded patterns should migrate upslope, as the upslope edge consisted of young and pioneer plant, and the downslope edge consisted of decayed plants (Aguiar and Sala, 1999;Deblauwe et al, 2011;Muñoz-Robles et al, 2011).…”
