Avalanche distributions and branching parameters for fully sampled model sytems. (A) Avalanche Distributions for the fully sampled SOC models evaluated in logarithmic binning. The avalanche distributions of the fully sampled models do not change with the bin size, due to the infinite separation between subsequent avalanches in the models. All f(s) follow a power law for s < 500. The steeper decay for large s is caused by the finite size of the models. Solid line – Abelian sandpile model (ASM). Dashed line – random neighbour model (RNM). Dotted line – forest fire model (FFM). Avalanche distributions have been set apart for better visibility by multiplication with a constant factor per curve. (B) Dependence of the branching parameter σ on the bin size. Sigma is near unity for small bin sizes. For larger bin sizes sigma decays due to the finite size of the models. Solid line – Abelian sandpile model (ASM). Dashed line – random neighbour model (RNM). Dotted line – forest fire model (FFM). Bin size given in simulation steps.
