A geomorphological based banded (tiger) vegetation pattern related to former dune fields in Sokoto (Northern Nigeria)
The significance of soil, water and landscape processes in banded vegetation patterning
The described banded vegetation pattern was observed on aerial photographs of the Northern part of Sokoto province in Northern Nigeria. The orientation of the bands (about NNW-SSE) is perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction (ENE-WSW) during
the period of formation of the former dunes. The genesis of this pattern of regional scale appears to be quite different from local scale banded patterns known in dry zones in Africa and Asia and described as Brousse tigrée, being moving vegetation arcs
Soil and water components of banded vegetation patterns
The significance of soil, water and landscape processes in banded vegetation patterning
Banded landscapes are comprised of alternating bands of vegetation and bare ground aligned along the contours in arid and semi-arid regions, on very gentle and uniform slopes. The objective of this paper is to review some of the major findings
pertaining to soil and water components of banded vegetation patterns.

Banded vegetation near Broken Hill, Australia : significance of surface roughness and soil physical properties
The significance of soil, water and landscape processes in banded vegetation patterning
Selected physical properties of the soils developed within a strongly-banded grassland in arid New South Wales were investigated to reveal their possible significance for the hydrologic and erosional behaviour of the mosaic landscape. Detailed
surface microtopography, surface roughness, soil bulk density and the unconfined compressive strength of the soils were determined using linear transects across the banded mosaic.
Testing the validity of upslope migration in banded vegetation from south-west Niger
The significance of soil, water and landscape processes in banded vegetation patterning
The aim of this study is to measure net soil flux in south-west Niger using Cs 137 and to relate it to surface features and transitions in the structure of the brousse tigrée in an attempt to validate the model and quantify the rate of upslope band

variations in moisture storage capacity. Experimental results indicate that vegetation bands at the scale observed at Baringo (Rift Valley, Kenya) are consistent with development by sequential scour and deposition, caused by some combination of sheetwash
The significance of soil, water and landscape processes in banded vegetation patterning
The aim here is to measure net soil flux in south-west Niger using Cs 137 and to relate it to surface features and transitions in the structure of the brousse tigrée in an attempt to validate the model and quantify the rate of upslope band migration.
The significance of soil, water and landscape processes in banded vegetation patterning
Vegetation arcs are near parallel bands of denser vegetation aligned perpendicular to slope and separated by barer inter-arc zones. These patterns occur in arid and semi-arid areas of gentle gradient. Similar, but much smaller scale patterns, here
The significance of soil, water and landscape processes in banded vegetation patterning
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

Cet article décrit des sols striés à High Pike dans le nord du Lake District en Angleterre. Ils se trouvent à 658 m d'altitude sur un éboulis incliné. Les bandes de matériaux grossiers présentent une largeur moyenne de 37 cm. Ce triage bien
particle size diminution coefficient data against stream length is presented which shows that all the data lie within a single narrow band extending over virtually the whole range of stream lengths and bed sediment particle sizes found on Earth.
