Fig. E1. Examples of spatial patterns and patch-size distribution (with Pearson’s moment coefficient of skewness) generated by the null (complete spatial randomness, CSR) (A), facilitation (B) and competition (C) models at 15%, 30% and 45% vegetation cover.
Fig. E2. The probability (A) and area proportion (B) of spanning clusters illustrate that the discontinuity in the skewness patterns around 70% cover is likely associated to the percolation point (Grimmett 1999). The results are generated by the null model assuming spatially random mortality with 200 repeated simulations.
