Discharge competence and pattern formation in peatlands: a meta-ecosystem model of the Everglades ridge-slough landscape.
Regular landscape patterning arises from spatially-dependent feedbacks, and can undergo catastrophic loss in response to changing landscape drivers. The central Everglades (Florida, USA) historically exhibited regular, linear, flow-parallel orientation of high-elevation sawgrass ridges and low-eleva...
