TL;DR: In the following years, an inspiring cross-fertilization from complexity theory to solar and astrophysics took place, where the Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) concept was initially applied to solar flares, stellar flares, and magnetospheric substorms, and later extended to the radiation belt, the heliosphere, lunar craters, the asteroid belt and the Saturn ring, pulsar glitches, soft X-ray repeaters, blazars, blackhole objects, cosmic rays, and boson clouds as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Forest-Fire Model is used to identify power-law distributions and demonstrate the existence of self-organized criticality, and the Forest Fire model is used for tuning and universality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a physically based landslide model combining aspects of slope stability and mass movement, and show that the model shows self-organized criticality (SOC), which is not a fashion of cellular automata but can also occur in differential equation models.

TL;DR: It is shown that the established Olami-Feder-Christensen earthquake model exhibits sequences of foreshocks and aftershocks, consistent with Omori's empirical law, but the exponents predicted by the model are lower than observed in nature.
