Pattern-formation approach to modelling spatially extended ecosystems (2012, positive): “…consistent with field observations (Borthagaray et al., 2010; Borgogno et al., 2009; Gilad et al., 2004, 2007a, 2007b; Klausmeier, 1999; Lefever and Lejeune, 1997; Rietkerk et al., 2002; Sherratt, 2005; Saco et al., 2006; Deblauwe et al., 2008; Valentin et al., 1999; von Hardenberg et al., 2001).”
Physical and biological feedbacks of deforestation (2012, background): “…landscape-scale attractors [Rietkerk et al., 2004]: a state with self-enriching vegetation patches, and the other stable state completely denuded [Hille Ris Lambers et al., 2001; von Hardenberg et al., 2001; Rietkerk et al., 2002, 2004; van de Koppel and Rietkerk, 2004; Scheffer et al., 2005].”
An idealized model for tree–grass coexistence in savannas: the role of life stage structure and fire disturbances (2009, background): “At the same time, considering space only implicitly disregards the important phenomenon of vegetation self-organization (von Hardenberg et al. 2001; Rietkerk et al. 2002).”
Cross-diffusion induced Turing instability for a three species food chain model (2012, background): “These include the predator–prey model [1–12,15–17, 22,25–28], the vegetation pattern formation [13,14,23], the chemotactic diffusion model [18,26] and the references therein.”
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).”
Termite-induced heterogeneity in African savanna vegetation: mechanisms and patterns (2010, background): “…of spotted and banded vegetation patterns in semiarid areas (Glover et al. 1964; Eldridge et al. 2001) and the link between these patterns and desertification (von Hardenberg et al. 2001) highlights the need to take termite ecology more seriously in restoration ecology and desertification control.”
Self‐Organization of Vegetation in Arid Ecosystems (2002, methodology): “This is due to the fact that our model takes the lateral flow of soil water as well as the lateral displacement of surface water into account, while Von Hardenberg et al. (2001) only consider transport of water in the soil, leading to similar vegetation patterns but at a much finer spatial scale.”
Spatial correlation as leading indicator of catastrophic shifts (2010, methodology): “On the other hand, sharp transitions are also described in systems with self-organized spatial patterns (von Hardenberg et al. 2001; Rietkerk et al. 2004; Kéfi et al. 2007) for which it is unclear whether they display slowing down.”
Regular pattern formation in real ecosystems. (2008, background): “Linked to this, several studies suggest that regular pattern formation leads to resource optimization [ 18 ,60,61] having positive consequences for productivity and diversity [28,62,63].”
Mathematical models of vegetation pattern formation in ecohydrology (2009, methodology): “The same mechanism has been also invoked to explain ecological patterns subject to drift, including banded vegetation [Klausmeier, 1999; Okayasu and Aizawa, 2001; von Hardenberg et al., 2001; Shnerb et al., 2003; Sherratt, 2005].”
