Figure 9. Effect of mixed nodule populations.

Figure 9

Our model predicts that mixed nodule populations destabilize the symbiotic relationship (see section 3.8 for details). This prediction is supported by numerical simulations. Theoretical and numerical predictions are indicated respectively by gray area and crosses (case (i)), magenta area and closed squares, (case (ii)), blue area and closed circles (case (iii)), orange area and open circles (case (iv)), purple area and diamonds (case (v)), and green area and open squares (case (vi)). Parameters are: b = 4.0, bN = 0.0, cN = 0.35, n = 5.
