According to the researchers, the grasses that make up fairy circles grow together in a cooperative fashion, modulating their environment to better cope amidst the near-perpetual dryness of an extremely arid ecosystem.

Why one that designer design perpetual dryness?

How about: it being a desert, the air is very dry. The limited moisture in the air can only support a limited amount of vegetation in a given space (an X foot circle).
Accordingly, you would end up with clumps of grass in a fairly regular pattern like that in the photo.
You’re welcome.

"Alternatively, scientists have proposed that fairy circles are the result of plants arranging themselves to make the most of limited water resources in a harsh, arid environment."
I've always found Fairy Rings in the lawn, fascinating.
"Fairy rings are circular areas of abnormal turf growth that are most commonly found on lawns and golf courses where soils have high levels of organic matter, and in areas where trees have recently been removed. Due to their mysterious, circular appearance, fairy rings have been of interest since ancient times."
Not sure how, or if, there's any relation to this 'new' find in arid lands.

Frankly, I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that in 2020 people are still calling Turing circles, “fairy circles.”
Oh... not that kind of fairy... right... sorry.

Turing Patterns & "mysterious formations of desert grass that grow around distinctly circular patterns..."
One can see that all the time in Texas. Drive past a pasture and see it dotted with round clumps of taller grass.
We call them Fire Ant mounds.

This also explains the preponderance of fairy circles in Washington, DC...
You can't throw a rock without hitting a fairy...
I'd volunteer for conducting valid tests of this proposition...

Next, the circles of plants will engineer their own evolution, merging together to form a smokable Jolly Orange Giant.
By the Turing test, this process will eventually halt in polynomial time.

So “Fairy circles” are explained by a fairy.

Is it possible these plants are like Bamboo, Aspen and other interconnected grasses/plants?

They are trying to characterize it as structure from randomness when in fact it is a testament to God’s design capability.
