Gapped vegetation patterns: crown/root allometry and snaking bifurcation
Jaime Cisternas, Daniel Escaff, M. Clerc +2
Nonuniform spatial distributions of vegetation in scarce environments consist of either gaps, bands often called tiger bush or patches that can be either self-organized or spatiall…
Extended patchy ecosystems may increase their total biomass through self-replication
Mustapha Tlidi, Ignacio Bordeu, Marcel G. Clerc +1
Patches of vegetation consist of dense clusters of shrubs, grass, or trees, often found to be circular characteristic size, defined by the properties of the vegetation and terrain.…
On localized vegetation patterns, fairy circles and localized patches in arid landscapes
D. Escaff, C. Fernandez-Oto, M. G. Clerc +1
We investigate the formation of localized structures with a varying width in one and two-dimensional systems. The mechanism of stabilization is attributed to strong nonlocal coupli…
Plant clonal morphologies and spatial patterns as self-organized responses to resource-limited environments
P. Couteron, F. Anthelme, M. Clerc +3
We propose here to interpret and model peculiar plant morphologies (cushions, tussocks) observed in the Andean altiplano as localized structures. Such structures resulting in a pat…
Strong interaction between plants induces circular barren patches: fairy circles
C. Fernandez-Oto, M. Tlidi, D. Escaff +1
Vast landscapes extending from southern Angola, Namibia, and South Africa exhibit localised barren patches of vegetation called fairy circles. They consist of isolated or randomly…
Transversal interface dynamics of a front connecting a stripe pattern to a uniform state
Marcel G. Clerc, Daniel Escaff, Rene Rojas
Interfaces in two-dimensional systems exhibit unexpected complex dynamical behaviors, the dynamics of a border connecting a stripe pattern and a uniform state is studied. Numerical…
