In order to make our investigation simpler and more visual, we use
parametric presentations for functions
,
, and f(N).
- Let

and substituting C by C=A-N, we get (see Fig. 5)

A good approximation for
(see Fig. 6) is given by the function:

Then

or

- Let

where
is the tolerance interval for vegetation,
,
i.e. the length of this interval. It is obvious that
and
.
- For parametrization of f(N) we must remember that
. Because
can be described by parabola
, and, respectively,

Using this parametrization we can investigate the evolution of the phase plane
with an increase of the bifurcation parameter A.
