Banded Vegetation Patterning in Arid and Semiarid Environments : Ecological Processes and Consequences for Management /
Aerial photography has revealed the striking, widespread phenomenon of repeating patterns of vegetation in more arid areas of the world. Two interdependent phases, bands of dense and sparse vegetation, alternate in the landscape. This volume synthesizes half a centurys accumulated knowledge of both...
