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
The significance of soil, water and landscape processes in banded vegetation patterning

. Rainfall simulations experiments were carried out to determine runoff and infiltration characteristics of the bare and vegetated zones. The largest amount of redistribution during these events is found for areas having an intermediate rainfall regime
