Vegetation Model is a mathematical ODE model that tray to explain how the water influence the vegetation growth, here is a model without diffusion terms: $$\begin{array} \displaystyle\frac{d x}{d t}=cg_m\displaystyle\frac{ y}{y+k_1}x-d_1x\\ \displaystyle\frac{d y}{d t}=\alpha\displaystyle\frac{x+k_2 y_0}{x+k_2}z-g_m\displaystyle\frac{ y}{y+k_1}x-i_wy\\ \displaystyle\frac{d z}{d t}=r_w-\alpha\displaystyle\frac{x+k_2 y_0}{x+k_2}z\ \end{array}$$ where $x$ denotes the plant density, $y$ stands for soil water and $z$ denotes the surface water.
The parameters in the model are:
$c$ - the factor conversion of water uptake by plant to plant growth,
$g_{m}$ - maximum water uptake,
$d_1$ - rate of plant mortality,
$\alpha$ - maximum water infiltration rate,
$i_w$ - rate of soil water loss,
$y_0$ - rate of water infiltration in the absence of the plant,
$r_w$ - the rainfall,
$k_1$ and $k_2$ the modelling constants.
Equilibrium points:
$$\left(0,\frac{r_w}{i_w}, \frac{r_w}{\alpha y_0}\right); \left(x,y, r_w\frac{x+k_2}{\alpha (x+k_2 y_0)}\right); x=\frac{c}{d_1}(r_w-i_w y);y=\frac{k_1d_1}{cg_m-d_1}$$ On graphics: $x$ on vertical axis and $y$ on horizontal axis.
Fixed parameters: $(c,g_m,d_1,\alpha,y_0,k_1,k_2)=(10,0.05,0.25,0.2,0.2,5,5); Initial state is set at (0.1,1,1).
