The function , as a function of N, will have the following form (see Fig. 5).
Figure 5: The function (considering the greenhouse effect in the model) as a function of N. The value
, corresponding to zero value of N, is determined by
the value A. Since we shall consider this function as a function of N:, then .
Analogously to the Daisyworld model by Watson and Lovelock, the vegetation cover changes the albedo of the planet. We suppose that the surface albedo decreases with an increase of vegetation. In Fig. 6 the functional form of is plotted.

In order to detect the equilibria we shall need the function . It is obvious that , where
