Stability and cross-diffusion-driven instability for a water-vegetation model with the infiltration feedback effect (Q6153634)

This paper concerns the spatial dynamics of the water-vegetation model. The authors obtain occurrence conditions of the Hopf bifurcation and the Turing instability by involving the diffusion effect. Around the Turing instability onset, the authors get the amplitude equations by employing weakly nonlinear analysis technique. In this fashion, various spatial patterns can be classified. Their results reveal that the water consumption rate induces the transitions of vegetation pattern and prohibits the increase of vegetation biomass density.
