Landscapes, Evolution, and Biodiversity
Session ID#: 77915
Session Description:
The evolution of landscapes and species on Earth are inextricably linked. Interactions between tectonics and climate produce mountains with steep environmental gradients that may drive speciation. Changing topography and river systems can isolate species or promote dispersal, either of which can influence the evolution and distribution of species. Life can augment or inhibit the physical and chemical processes that shape the Earth’s surface, potentially altering the pace and style of landscape evolution. We invite contributions that investigate links between Earth surface dynamics and biota from both applied and theoretical perspectives, including links between topographic change and biological evolution, the impact of biotic processes on landscape evolution, and human impacts on ecosystems.
