Population Dynamics, Disturbance, and Pattern Evolution: Identifying the Fundamental Scales of Organization in a Model Ecosystem

We used auto‐ and cross‐correlation analysis and Ripley'sK‐function analysis to analyze spatiotemporal pattern evolution in a spatially explicit simulation model of a semiarid shrubland (Karoo, South Africa) and to determine the impact of small‐scale disturbances on system dynamics. Without dis...
