Fig. 1

The three study regions of Namibia. Three plots were studied at the Giribes (a). North of the Leopard Rock, fairy circles dominate the landscape without any Euphorbia shrubs nearby. South of the rock, Euphorbias and FCs only rarely coexist in very isolated places along the mountain edges, as indicated by the plots Gir-1 and Gir-2. Three study plots were located around Brandberg, which is the highest mountain of Namibia (b). The ephemeral Ugab River runs north of Brandberg. In southern Namibia, two study plots were situated in the interdune valley near Garub (c). For location of these areas within Namibia, see Additional file 1: Fig. S1
