Crossover phenomenon in self-organized critical sandpile models

We consider a stochastic sandpile where the sand-grains of unstable sites are randomly distributed to the nearest neighbors. Increasing the value of the threshold condition the stochastic character of the distribution is lost and a crossover to the scaling behavior of a different sandpile model takes place where the sand-grains are equally transferred to the nearest neighbors. The crossover behavior is numerically analyzed in detail, especially we consider the exponents which determine the scaling behavior.
