Mass conservation is employed to express the natural water balance of climate‐soil‐vegetation systems in terms of the average annual values of precipitation, evapotranspiration, surface runoff, and groundwater runoff as derived from the probability distributions of storm properties and from the physics of the appropriate storm and interstorm soil moisture fluxes. The resulting conservation equation is used to define the dimensionless parameters governing the dynamic similarity of the annual water balance. An asymptotic analysis of this water balance equation yields a set of rational criteria for the classification of climate‐soil‐vegetation systems. Sensitivity with respect to the primary climate, soil, and vegetal parameters demonstrates that qualitative changes in water balance behavior are primarily dependent upon the exfiltration effectiveness of the soil. A natural selection hypothesis is presented which specifies the stable vegetation density and the plant coefficient for a given climate‐soil system in which water and not nutrition or light is limiting.
