Dryland vegetation pattern dynamics driven by inertial effects and secondary seed dispersal

This manuscript tackles the study of vegetation pattern dynamics driven by inertial effects and secondary seed dispersal. To achieve this goal, an hyperbolic extension classical parabolic Klausmeier model vegetation, generally used to predict formation banded along slopes semiarid environments, has been here considered together with additional advective term mimicking downslope motion seeds. Linear stability analyses have carried out inspect dependence wave instability locus on parameters, particular emphasis role played time advection speed. Moreover, periodic travelling solutions are taken into account better characterize modulus direction migration speed striped patterns. Theoretical predictions corroborated numerical Investigations ecological implications also discussed. In particular, it is highlighted how nature may provide possible justifications about some controversial field observations.
