Ecohydrological interactions within “fairy circles” in the Namib Desert: Revisiting the self‐organization hypothesis
0 signed · 103 inferred · view as graph
Inferred edges come from two machine sources: sweeps of open repository metadata (mostly SSRN and Zenodo), and a bulk OpenAlex citation snapshot. Every row below is labelled with the one it came from. Neither is a complete citation index — absence here is not evidence of absence.
