Biogeomorphology is a multidisciplinary focus of geomorphology that takes research approaches from both geomorphology and ecology. It is a sub discipline of geomorphology. Biogeomorphology can be synthesized into two distinct approaches: 1. The influences that geomorphology plays on the biodiversity and distribution of flora and fauna. 2.
Beaver dams, as this one in Tierra del Fuego, constitute a specific form of zoogeomorphology, a type of biogeomorphology. The interaction of living organisms with landforms, or biogeomorphologic processes , can be of many different forms, and is probably of profound importance for the terrestrial geomorphic system as a whole.
Biogeomorphology is a subdiscipline of geomorphology. This can include not only microorganisms and plants, but animals as well. These interactions are important factors in the development of certain environments like salt marsh , mangrove and other types of coastal wetlands as well as influencing coastal and shoreline stability.

Phytogeomorphology is the study of how terrain features affect plant growth. [1] It was the subject of a treatise by Howard and Mitchell in 1985, who were considering the growth and varietal temporal and spatial variability found in forests, but recognized that their work also had application to farming, and the relatively new science (at that time) of precision agriculture.
This is a list of freshwater ecoregions as compiled by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The freshwater ecoregion system is similar to that for terrestrial ecoregions.The Earth's land surface is divided into eight terrestrial biogeographic realms or ecozones, which contain hundreds of smaller ecoregions.
Heather Viles is a professor of biogeomorphology and heritage conservation in the school of geography and the environment at Oxford University, senior research fellow at Worcester College, [1] and honorary professor at the Institute of Sustainable Heritage, University College London.
Thorson's rule (named after Gunnar Thorson by S. A. Mileikovsky in 1971) [1] is an ecogeographical rule which states that benthic marine invertebrates at low latitudes tend to produce large numbers of eggs developing to pelagic (often planktotrophic [plankton-feeding]) and widely dispersing larvae, whereas at high latitudes such organisms tend to produce fewer and larger lecithotrophic (yolk ...
