Self-Organizing Processes in Landscape Pattern and Resilience: A Review

Figure 4

Stripes of vegetation are represented along a hillslope, as modeled in (1) and (2). Mean precipitation is assumed evenly distributed along the hillslope and to run down over a nonabsorbent surface until it reaches a vegetation stripe, where it is absorbed and evapotranspired. The vegetation stripes are evenly spaced.
