SFERE v1.1

SFERE (Scale-dependent Feedback Recursion). Mathematical model to explain self-organization of complex spatial patterns from recursion of a scale-dependent feedback at multiple nested scales. First applied to self-organization of branching channel networks in coastal wetlands (van de Vijsel et al. 2023, Nature Communications). The model has later been expanded to simulate sediment transport (Cornacchia et al. 2024, Communications Earth & Environment).

This is the SFERE v1.1, or the second version of the model, used in the manuscript (Cornacchia et al. 2024, Communications Earth & Environment). Please cite this model version as: Cornacchia, L., van de vijsel, R.C., van der Wal, D., Ysebaert, T., Sun, J., van Prooijen, B., de Vet, P.L.M., Liu, Q.-X., van de Koppel, J.
