A Minimalist Model of Salt-Marsh Vegetation Dynamics Driven by Species Competition and Dispersal

We present a new bidimensional, spatially-explicit ecological model describing the dynamics of halophytic vegetation in tidal saline wetlands. Existing vegetation models employ relatively simple deterministic or stochastic mechanisms, and are driven by local environmental conditions. In the proposed...
