What causes patterns of vegetation and soils across landscapes and ecosystems?

Biological, physical, geological, climatic and hydrological factors all play roles in patterns

Complex landscape patterns are all around us in the bay area. I like the patterns set up between ridges and draws in our savannas. The draws are dominated by woody plants, as lateral flows of water help sustain the higher needs (100 mm per year) of water needed.

. Here is the patterns we see flying into Tucson. You can see trees route along river channels. A little extra water in this arid environment is enough to support woody vegetation that outlines the water courses

Here is the pattern of the land on Mars. Those looking at Mars are trying to decide if there was water at one time, based on the patterns on earth

At water becomes limited, trees become more spatially detached in space, forming gaps between one another

Several factors can form patterns in semi-arid systems. It is not all directly water, but can be indirectly related through facilitation and alleopathy

Here are some of the feedbacks between enhancing and inhibiting vegetation

Rain interception is another issue, as that can reevaporate water that does not get to the ground if there are lots of light rains

Laurel Larson, in Geography, studies land patterns in the Everglades. Notice the ridges and sloughs that form

Larson created models that link geomorphology, velocity of water flow, peat formation and ecology that forms these patterns

Look at the land from google earth and you’ll tend to see two types of rivers formed, meandering and braided. Whey the difference?

Scaling forced by positive spatial feedbacks; probability of establishment increases with tree density; prob of mortality increases with open spaces; soil moisture key; less soil evaporation under trees.
