Landscape-scale geomorphic influences on vegetation patterns in four environments

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
This paper reviews and synthesizes research about geomorphic influences on vegetation patterns apparent at the landscape scale. After an overview of the effects that landforms and geomorphic processes have on plant distributions, these relationships are discussed in more detail for each of four distinct physical settings: temperate riparian environments, slopes affected by landslides and other forms of mass movement, desert alluvial fans, and non mountainous glaciated landscapes.
