We introduce an inverse-cascade model to explain self-organized critical behavior. This model is motivated by the … resulting in fires in which trees are lost. In the inverse-cascade model single trees are introduced and these combine to form … larger and larger clusters. This is the inverse cascade and gives a power-law (fractal) frequency-size distribution of …
