Analysis of Spatiotemporal Dynamic and Bifurcation in a Wetland Ecosystem by Yi Wang, Min Zhao, Hengguo Yu, Chuanjun Dai, Debing Mei, Qi Wang, Zengling Ma

“…Mathematical theoretical works mainly investigate the stability of constant steady states, the existence of nonconstant steady states, and bifurcation, which can deduce a standard parameter control relation and in return can provide a theoretical basis for the numerical simulation. Numerical analysis indicates that the theoretical works are correct and the wetland ecosystem can show rich dynamical behaviors not only regular spatial patterns. …”
