A view of a homogeneous (A) and a heterogeneous (B) hillslopes. In the homogeneous hillslopes, the white spots are piles of snails in the vicinity of dead shrubs. The piles indicate the location of dead shrubs. At the same time, most of the shrubs in the heterogeneous hillslope are alive, and survived the prolonged drought of 2008–2009.
