Geomorphology and ecology: Unifying themes for complex systems in biogeomorphology

The interaction of geomorphic and ecologic landscape components has been largely conceptualized as independent. In one direction, geomorphic processes and landforms shape the distribution of biota. Conversely, in the other direction, biota modify geomorphic processes and landforms. Increasingly, the interactions between geomorphic and ecological components are more circular and developmentally ...

Restoration ecology and conservation biology

Restoration ecology is undergoing rapid growth as an academic discipline, similar to that experienced by conservation biology over the last 15 years. Restoration ecology and conservation biology share many underlying biodiversity goals, but di€er in striking ways. Using data from published literature in these two ®elds, I document that conservation biology has been more zoological, more descrip...
