Fig. 3. Dislocation number decay law obtained from remote sensing analysis in Chile, Sudan, and U.S. landscapes.

Circles account for observed data, and the orange curves represent the fits. (A to C) correspond to a N(x) ∼ log(x/B)/x fit for patterns in Chile, Sudan, and the United States, respectively. Fit parameters in λ units are (A) x₀ = −2.9, B = 1.2, and A = 2.7; (B) x₀ = −2, B = 1.5, and A = 10.6; (C) x₀ = −2.4, B = 1.3, and A = 5. R² is the coefficient of determination of the fits.
