Integrating theory and experiments to link local mechanisms and ecosystem-level consequences of vegetation patterns in drylands
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Ciro Cabal, Justin M. Calabrese +4
Self-organized spatial patterns of vegetation are frequent in drylands and, because pattern shape correlates with water availability, they have been suggested as important indicato…
Structured interactions as a stabilizing mechanism for competitive ecosystems
Violeta Calleja-Solanas, Nagi Khalil, Jesús Gómez-Gardeñes +2
How large ecosystems can create and maintain the remarkable biodiversity we see in nature is probably one of the biggest open questions in science, attracting attention from differ…
A general model for vegetation patterns including rhizome growth
Daniel Ruiz-Reynés, Francesca Schönsberg, Emilio Hernández-García +1
Vegetation patterns, a natural phenomenon observed worldwide, are typically driven by spatially distributed feedback. However, the spatial colonization mechanisms of clonal plants,…
Exploring the tug of war between positive and negative interactions among savanna trees: Competition, dispersal, and protection from fire
Flora S. Bacelar, Justin M. Calabrese, Emílio Hernández-García
Savannas are characterized by a discontinuous tree layer superimposed on a continuous layer of grass. Identifying the mechanisms that facilitate this tree-grass coexistence has rem…
