Irregular Striped Vegetation Patterns in Arid and Semiarid Regions Resulted from Oscillatory Instability

Abstract:

Striped vegetation pattern formation in arid and semiarid regions has attracted many researchers in ecological field. In this research, we modify the classical Klausmeier model and study nonlinear mechanism of oscillatory instability which can also possibly lead to pattern formation in ecological systems. Via simulation, irregular striped vegetation patterns are numerically obtained for the modified model. From the mechanism of oscillatory instability, this research provides a theoretical explanation for the formation of irregular striped vegetation patterns in nature.
