What is the typical pattern of salt marsh vegetation in New England from riverside to highland?
The vegetation of salt marsh in New England presents a typical spatial self-organization pattern from river bank to highland. According to the inquiry of public information, the formation of spatial self-organization pattern is a common feature of many natural ecosystems. At present, it is considered that scale-dependent feedback is the main mechanism for the formation of regular spatial pattern, that is, the coupling effect of local positive feedback and long-range negative feedback.
