Abstract:

Floodplains are unique ecosystems because of their linear form, the sometimes extreme dynamism of their geomorphology and because they process large fluxes of energy and materials from upstream areas. This article focuses on the importance of hydrological inputs to floodplains through 1) their influence on the arrangement of landforms and vegetation communities and 2) the connections between flooding regimes and the regeneration and turnover time of floodplain vegetation. Many researchers have demonstrated close links between the arrangement of vegeta tion communities and sedimentary landform types, elevation, soil characteristics, tolerance to flooding and availability of soil moisture. It is suggested that plants on floodplains are found along a combined gradient of available moisture and oxygen which can be viewed simultaneously as a flooding frequency gradient and a complex soil moisture gradient. Discussion of experi mental work on floodplains demonstrates the importance of these gradients to a range of flood plain species in different environments. The relationships between these environmental gradients and the apparent high level of overlap between planform patterns of landforms and vegetation communities on floodplains are related to lag times in different parts of vegetation communities. Flood regimes greatly influence the availability of areas suitable for vegetation regeneration from year to year and the age structure of floodplain communities over decadal time frames. Biotic factors also influence biogeomorphological relationships on floodplains and range from sediment- trapping by vegetation to the impacts of beaver and grazing animals on floodplain hydrology and vegetation. Restoration of floodplains is high on the agenda in many countries and it is argued that, for sustainable results, restoration of hydrological pathways is essential. Planned flood releases below dams in several African countries have had varied success rates but the develop ment of models for managing flows to achieve different restoration targets is the start of an integrated approach to restoring complex floodplain ecosystems.

Abstract:

While karst is not biogenic in the same sense as, say, coral reefs or peat bogs, and carbonate dissolution can occur abiotically, formation of karst landscapes would not occur in the absence of the biosphere. Seven levels of biogeomorphic biotic-abiotic interactions are identified, from indirect impacts to landforms as extended phenotypes. Karst is generally near the biogenic end of that spectrum, featuring reciprocal interactions and mutual adjustments between biota and landforms and interrelated geomorphological and ecological processes. Karst biogeomorphology may also involve niche construction. In many cases biogeomorphic ecosystem engineering in karst is contingent, in the sense that the engineer organisms may have no, or different, biogeomorphic impacts in non-karst environments. Several examples of contingent ecosystem engineering in karst are given, including biogeomorphic effects of chinkapin oak. Abiotic geomorphic features exist on Earth, but consideration of landform types lying between the biotic-abiotic extremes would likely yield broadly similar conclusions to those about karst. However, it is also clear that we know very little about niche construction and coevolution in karst biogeomorphology, and whether karst or any specific karst features can be considered an extended (composite) phenotype is still an open question. Thus far, most work on biogeomorphology and ecosystem engineering has focused on what might be called obligate engineers—organisms whose engineering effects are at least inevitable, if not necessary to their survival. However, in some cases contingent ecosystem engineers have substantial geomorphic impacts.

Abstract:

This paper examines the literature on research into the effects of burial by deposition of blown sand, volcanic deposits (tephra, lavas and lahars) or fluvial sediment on vegetation and the subsequent capacity of the vegetation for survival and regeneration. Research on this topic involves the understanding and skills of the biogeographer, the ecologist and the geomorpholo-gist and represents a potentially very interesting area for integration between these areas of physical geography. Burial is closely linked to concepts of plant succession and pedogenesis. A general model of burial stress is presented that shows how types of stress are linked to the burial environment and the characteristics of the burial event, in particular the magnitude and frequency. The importance of elasticity of response of species to burial is vital, as demonstrated by the evolution of certain species, such as those of the genus Ammophila in sand dunes that appear to respond positively to the burial process. Research into burial by dust deposition, by volcanic tephra and lavas, by sand in coastal and lake dune environments, in desert environments and by alluvium and ‘run-on’ following hydro-logical events are reviewed in turn. The significance of burial to palaeoenvironmental and palaeoecological research is then demonstrated by reference to machair sand dune stratification in the Outer Hebrides and vegetation damage and burial following proximal volcanic impacts in New Zealand. Finally, methods of experimental research into burial in both the field and in the greenhouse are summarized and the conclusion stresses the need for more holistic approaches to the study of burial that link the biogeographical aspects of plant ecophysiology and both individual species and community ecology to the various geomorphic processes of deposition and sedimentation.

AbstractThis Special Issue arose from a 1‐day international workshop on the theme of Fluvial Biogeomorphology to mark Professor Angela Gurnell's official retirement. As co‐editors, we felt this Special Issue also afforded an opportunity which we could not let pass by to capture some key aspects of Angela's inspiring and impactful career to date. We have written this Preface to accompany the main Editorial as a celebration of Angela's distinguished career and the many contributions Angela has made to physical geography and in particular fluvial geomorphology. We present an overview of Angela's career, insights into key research areas and contributions through a consideration of her publications, and her work inspiring early career researchers through PhD supervision before some final, more personal, reflections.

Abstract:

The presence and continued existence of tidal morphologies, and in particular of salt marshes, is intimately connected with biological activity, especially with the presence of halophytic vegetation. Here, we review recent contributions to tidal biogeomorphology and identify the presence of multiple competing stable states arising from a two-way feedback between biomass productivity and topographic elevation. Hence, through the analysis of previous and new results on spatially extended biogeomorphological systems, we show that multiple stable states constitute a unifying framework explaining emerging patterns in tidal environments from the local to the system scale. Furthermore, in contrast with traditional views we propose that biota in tidal environments is not just passively adapting to morphological features prescribed by sediment transport, but rather it is ‘The Secret Gardener’, fundamentally constructing the tidal landscape. The proposed framework allows to identify the observable signature of the biogeomorphic feedbacks underlying tidal landscapes and to explore the response and resilience of tidal biogeomorphic patterns to variations in the forcings, such as the rate of relative sea-level rise.

Abstract:

Paleopedology is a booming scientific discipline that studies the soils of the past geological epochs in order to assess the paleoenvironmental evolution. The scope of paleosol studies embraces not only soils themselves, but also the products of their involvement in biogeosphere cycles. This ensures the planetary role of pedogenesis, which includes the transformation of the upper layers of the lithosphere including the increase in fine earth, new minerals, residual or accumulative concentration of elements. In the geological history of the Earth, pedogenesis is realized within the framework of exogenesis, which includes weathering, soil formation, sedimentation, diagenesis, and geochemical migration. The pedolithosphere records the critical points in the landscape evolution of the Earth from the very onset of the geological record, including the oxygenation of the atmosphere, the emergence of the higher plants and herbaceous biomes, the dynamics of interglacialglacial cycles, etc. Paleosols are the base for paleogeographic reconstructions and predictive models of the future climate change. Paleopedology expands the horizons of soil science within the system of biogeosphere sciences and determines the development of new scientific disciplines - bacterial paleontology, paleogeochemistry, biogeomorphology, astropedology, geoarchaeology, ecological paleopedology, soil paleocryogenesis and the cryobiosphere studies. The historical dimension granted by paleopedology makes pedology a mature historical science.

Abstract:

Dam reservoir construction is one of the most important factors shaping river-valley morphology in the Anthropocene. While a large number (>58,000) of these constructions are in operation all over the world, we remain quite ignorant of what happens upstream of them (in so called backwater zone), especially for the case of gravel-bed rivers. Existing studies have shown that adjustments of the gravel-bed river in the backwater zone differ between the initial and long-term adjustments. The initial adjustments (occurring ≈ <20 years following dam construction) are controlled by large floods and in-channel deposition which trigger bi-directional bar↔bank interactions (bank erosion causing bar growth and vice versa) resulting in channel-widening. The long-term adjustments (≈ >20 years following dam construction) are characterized by river sinuosity increa sing and channel planform stabilization resulted from deposition of fine sediment and associated vegetation expansion. The long-term adjustments are controlled by the initial river morphology, which creates accommodation space for the deposition of fine sediment and for the associated expansion of vegetation on channel bars. The multi-thread river in backwater zone is significantly narrowed, its sinuosity increase (phase 1) and the planform is stabilized (phase 2). Whereas, in the case of initially single-thread river only planform stabilization occur (phase 2). This article summarizes recent findings on the backwater effects on gravel-bed channel morphodynamics, suggesting that backwater zones may be treated as hot-spots of human-induced changes in river geomorphology and biogeomorphology.

Abstract:

Darwin’s analysis of the geomorphology of worms is the first documented account of fauna influencing the landscape and established the foundation upon which many current studies in ecosystem engineering, zoogeomorphology, soil science, and biogeomorphology are more broadly predicated. The focus of this assessment is to analyze the long-lasting and broad application of his 1881 work, The Formation of Vegetable Mould, Through the Action of Worms, with Observations on their Habits. In particular, this assessment identifies and elaborates on underlying lessons for today’s geomorphologists. The underlying lessons presented here are three-fold: (1) be multidisciplinary, (2) assess the trivial, and (3) be impactful. First, we review the context of geomorphology in his essay on worms. Then, we address each of the three underlying lessons. We discuss how geomorphologists have adopted these lessons, and what geomorphology can continue to learn from Darwin (1881). In doing so, we analyze the wide influence Darwin’s Worms has had on the scientific community, with an emphasis on geomorphic implications. Our analysis shows that over 900 publications refer to Darwin (1881). In addition, these publications were derived from a variety of disciplines including, but not limited to, anthropology, biogeography, botany, geology, paleontology, philosophy, psychology, scientific travel writing, taxonomy, and zoology. At first glance, it may appear trivial to assess the amount of earth moved by worms, yet this is how Darwin spent his final years. His efforts were not in vain, but rather found that worms play an essential role in soil health, and his work continues to gain recognition and inspire geomorphologists.
