Microclimate feedbacks sustain power law clustering of encroaching coastal woody vegetation

Huang et al. use satellite imagery spanning over 40 years to investigate the spatial patterning of vegetation patches in a North American coastal ecosystem. They find that woody plant encroachment follows a power law when approaching critical transition points, which may inform future ecological mon...
