Would you like to learn more about fairy circles in Namibia? Here you can find out everything about the natural phenomenon & Stephan Getzin's work on it. Stephan Getzin has been working on the fairy circles since 2000. Before this year, these circles were sometimes called fairy rings. The German name for fairy circles is Feenkreise. Dr. Getzin has investigated the most common theories about their origin, including the Euphorbia hypothesis, the idea that they originate from harvester termites (Hodotermes mossambicus) or sand termites (Psammotermes allocerus), and the self-organization of vegetation. Dr. Stephan Getzin and his colleagues have found sound evidence that fairy circles are caused by plant competition for water and biomass-water feedbacks.
