Biogeomorphology, terrestrial and freshwater systems : proceedings of the 26th Binghamton Symposium in Geomorphology, held October 6-8, 1995 /
Biogeomorphology, a relatively new term, refers to relations between the biota and geomorphic form and process. Ecology is the study of organisms in relation to their physical and biotic environment. Thus, ecogeomorphology could have been an equally acceptable name for this publication which stresse...
