- Biogeomorphology
Biogeomorphology and ecogeomorphology are the study of interactions between
organisms and the development oflandforms , and are thus fields of study withingeomorphology andichnology . Organisms affect geomorphic processes in a variety of ways. For example,tree s can reducelandslide potential where theirroot s penetrate to underlying rock,plant s and their litter inhibitsoil erosion ,biochemical s produced by plants accelerate the chemicalweathering ofbedrock andregolith , and marineanimals cause thebioerosion ofcoral .Bibliography
