Intermittent Plurisink Model and the Emergence of Complex Heterogeneity Patterns: A Simple Paradigm for Explaining Complexity in Soil Chemical Distributions

Abstract EN

The spatial complexity of the distribution of organic matter, chemicals, nutrients, and pollutants has been demonstrated to have multifractal nature.

This fact supports the possibility of existence of some emergent heterogeneity structure built under the evolution of the system.

The aim of this paper is providing a consistent explanation of the mentioned results via an extremely simple model.
