Patches structure succession based on spatial point pattern features in semi-arid ecosystems of the water-wind erosion crisscross region

Spatial point-pattern analysis can give insights to the underlying processes of patch succession and restoration. It is unclear whether inter-shrub competition determines patch succession. In this paper, we assessed the spatial patterns along patch succession using spatial statistics such as univari...
