 This study investigates how vegetation patches affect wind-driven litter mobility and accumulation, finding that vegetation cover increases litter accumulation and reduces removal rates, while different litter types have varying removal rates. The results suggest that wind-based litter redistribution among different patch types contributes to increasing spatial heterogeneity of resources on a landscape scale.
