Description

Reaction-diffusion equations exhibit a wide range of spatial and temporal behaviours and are often used to describe propagating phenomena in biological systems. In this talk, we present two such models. One describes the spread of wildfires, the other the development of resistance in agriculture. We compare how the reaction terms relate to the dynamics of the system, considering similarities and differences. Moreover, we expand the model family by exploring the influence of spatial barriers on the dynamics numerically.
