Spatio-temporal dynamics and quantification of daisyworld in two-dimensional coupled map lattices

► We reconstruct daisyworld model in 2D coupled map lattice (CML). ► Daisyworld in 2D CML self-regulates its temperature and life is sustained. ► Our daisyworld generates an array of fascinating spatio-temporal patterns. ► We used metrics to quantify spatio-temporal dynamics of daisyworld. ► Permutation entropy and Moran's I demonstrate their reliability in quantifying the spatio-temporal dynamics.
