Arid vegetation is subjected to more or less frequent fire, drought, sporadic flooding events andgrazing.Whilst fire, drought and grazing have been the subject of considerable research, little isknown of the impact of flooding in and environments. We examined the effects of a flooding event,and its interaction with fire and grazing on moulding the arid vegetation.
