Tiger bush, or brousse tigrée in the French language, is a patterned vegetation community and ground consisting of alternating bands of trees, shrubs, or grass separated by bare ground or low herb cover, that run roughly parallel to contour lines of equal elevation. The patterns occur on low slopes in arid and semi-arid regions,[1] such as in Australia, Sahelian West Africa, and North America.[2][3]

Due to the natural water harvesting capacity, many species in tiger bush usually occur only under a higher rainfall regime.
