∂w/∂t = A − w − wu2 + ν∂w/∂x
∂u/∂t = wu2 − Bu + ∂2u/∂x2
The nonlinearity in wu2 arises because the presence of rootsincreases water infiltration into the soil.

Predictions of Pattern WavelengthOther Potential Mechanisms for Vegetation PatternsMathematical Moral
Pattern Selection
For a range of rainfall levels, there is more than one stablepattern. Which will be selected?We consider initial conditions that are small perturbationsof the coexistence steady state (us, vs).All such initial conditions give a pattern, but the wavelengthdepends on the initial perturbation
