Feedbacks between geomorphology and biota controlling Earth surface processes and landforms: A review of foundation concepts and current understandings (2011, background): “, 2007) but is relevant for many biogeomorphologic systems and in different bioclimatic contexts (Cowles, 1899; Ludwig et al., 1999; Gurnell et al., 2001; Rietkerk et al., 2002; Nungesser, 2003; Stallins and Parker, 2003; Temmerman et al., 2007; Zeng et al., 2007; Francis et al., 2009; Marston, 2010”

Ecohydrological advances and applications in plant-water relations research: a review (2011, background): “…ecosystems, positive feedbacks operate between increased vegetation biomass, rainwater infiltration into the soil and increased lateral root spread, leading to more vegetation biomass and thus alternate stable vegetated and desert states (Rietkerk et al. 2002, 2004a; von Hardenberg et al. 2001).”
Pattern-formation approach to modelling spatially extended ecosystems (2012, neutral): “The infiltration feedback is captured by assuming an increasing biomass dependence of the infiltration rate of the form (Gilad et al., 2007a, 2007b; Rietkerk et al., 2002): I( r, t) = A b( r, t) + Qf b( r, t) + Q , where A and Q are constant parameters and f is another parameter representing the…”
The superior effect of nature based solutions in land management for enhancing ecosystem services. (2018, background): “The self-organization of the vegetation creates a resilient ecosystem, and continuously protects the soil surface from erosion (Rietkerk et al., 2002).”
Network resilience (2020, background): “ing rainfall, overgrazing by cattle can also cause catastrophic shifts from a spotted vegetation state into a decertified ecosystem state [178, 116].”
Adopting a spatially explicit perspective to study the mysterious fairy circles of Namibia (2015, background): “Furthermore, low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles could be used to map fairy circles of selected study sites Models that capture only the infiltration (Rietkerk et al. 2002) or the fast soil-water diffusion feedbacks (van der Stelt et al. 2013) can generate hexagonal gap patterns below a precipitation…”
History-dependent patterns of whole ecosystems (2013, background): “The papers of Lefever and Lejeune (1997), Klausmeier (1999), HilleRisLambers et al. (2001), von Hardenberg et al. (2010), Rietkerk et al. (2002) and Gilad et al. (2007) contain some of the key models, and a detailed review of the modelling literature in this area is given by Borgogno et al. (2009).”

Mathematical models of vegetation pattern formation in ecohydrology (2009, background): “…other models considered in this review involve three variables, namely, plant biomass, surface water, and soil water [HilleRisLambers et al., 2001; Rietkerk et al., 2002; van de Koppel et al., 2002; Guttal and Jayaprakash, 2007], except for the case of Zeng and Zeng [2007], which involves living…”
