      abstract     = {In this paper, we review the role of patterns to improve
                      our understanding of water, mass and energy exchange
                      processes in soil-vegetationatmosphere systems. We explore
                      the main mechanisms that lead to the formation of patterns
                      in these systems and discuss different approaches to
                      characterizing and quantifying patterns. Specific attention
                      is given to the use of data-driven methods to detect
                      patterns in spatial and temporal data that do not make
                      assumptions about underlying statistical properties of
                      patterns. These methods include e.g. decomposition methods,
                      binning based methods, unsupervised classification and
                      temporal stability analysis. We then analyze the value of
                      considering patterns in evaluating model performance,
                      reducing uncertainty in prediction of states and fluxes, as
                      well as for upscaling and downscaling. Finally, we present
                      ways forward to make better use of patterns in the
                      description of flow and transport processes in
                      soil-vegetationatmosphere systems.},
