Feedbacks between Geomorphology and Biota Controlling Earth Surface Processes and Landforms: A Review of Foundation Concepts and Current Understandings [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This review article presents recent advances in the field of biogeomorphology related to the reciprocal coupling between Earth surface processes and landforms, and ecological and evolutionary processes. The aim is to present to the Earth Science community ecological and evolutionary concepts and related recent conceptual developments for linking geomorphology and biota. The novelty of the proposed perspective is that (i) in the presence of geomorphologic-engineer species, which modulate sediment and landform dynamics, natural selection operating at the scale of organisms may have consequences for the physical components of ecosystems, and particularly Earth surface processes and landforms; (ii) in return, these modifications of geomorphologic processes and landforms often feed back to the ecological characteristics of the ecosystem (structure, function) and thus to biological characteristics of engineer species and/or other species (adaptation, speciation). The main foundation concepts from ecology and evolutionary biology which have led only recently to an improved conception of landform dynamics in geomorphology are reviewed and discussed. The biogeomorphologic macroevolutionary insights proposed explicitly integrate geomorphologic niche-dimensions and processes within an ecosystem framework and reflect current theories of eco-evolutionary and ecological processes. Collectively, these lead to the definition of an integrated model describing the overall functioning of biogeomorphologic systems over ecological and evolutionary timescales.
