Transitions between patterned states in vegetation models for semiarid ecosystems
Transitions between patterned states in vegetation models for semiarid ecosystems
A feature common to many models of vegetation pattern formation in semi-arid ecosystems is a sequence of qualitatively different patterned states, "gaps -> labyrinth -> spots", that occurs as a parameter representing precipitation decreases. We explore the robustness of this "standard" sequence in the generic setting of a bifurcation problem …
