Description :
Examples are presented from 2 locations in SE and NE Spain where patterned or banded vegetation are found on semi-natural and abandoned land or where vegetation is recovering from wildfire. In both cases patterns are being investigated as process-pattern phenomena with the aim of understanding how different kinds of environmental gradients influence pattern evolution.
