Degradation of Dryland Vegetation Patchiness Through the Lens of Power‐Law Relationships
Vegetation patchiness is a key characteristic of drylands and closely linked with their functioning. Deviations from pure power‐law distributions of patch sizes have been suggested as indicators of degradation and early warning signals of approaching desertification thresholds. The general objective of our study is to evaluate the usefulness of patch‐size distributions as indicators of vegetation degradation caused by grazing and drought. To achi…
Revealing the Driving Forces of Mid-Cities Urban Growth Patterns Using Spatial Modeling
City growth and changes in land-use patterns cause various important social and environmental impacts. To understand the spatial and temporal dynamics of these processes, the factors that drive urban development must be identified and analyzed, especially those factors that can be used to predict future changes and their potential environmental effects. Our objectives were to quantify the relationship between urban growth and its driving forces a…
Pattern-Oriented Modeling of Agent-Based Complex Systems
Agent-based complex systems are dynamic networks of many interacting agents; examples include ecosystems, financial markets, and cities. The search for general principles underlying the internal organization of such systems often uses bottom-up simulation models such as cellular automata and agent-based models. No general framework for designing, testing, and analyzing bottom-up models has yet been established, but recent advances in ecological m…
