Although some removals lead to higher biomass values initially, these are not consistent for all values of the rainfall parameter a and a clear trend does not present itself; it cannot be predicted accurately whether removal of a patch will be beneficial for lower rainfall values; in fact, the removal can even cause the system to degrade into a desert state at a higher rainfall (see Figure 6 ).
