Figure 4. Vegetation distribution predicted for different geomorphic scenarios using a coupled groundwater flow and vegetation model (modified from Loheide and Gorelick 2007). Blue line represents stream. The pristine condition (no incision) shows more mesic vegetation near the stream where the water table is shallow while the degraded cases show more xeric vegetation as degradation increases. The restored condition shows a return of mesic vegetation near the stream channel.
