Description: Numerical simulations of ecogeomorphic systems have become one of the most important tools when trying to understand the co evolution of and feedbacks between biota and landforms. This chapter presents recent advances in ecogeomorphological modeling in the areas of fluvial channel systems, catchment landform evolution, semi-arid systems, tidal wetlands, and aeolian dune fields. A variety of modeling approaches and examples of applications are presented, and prospects for future research in this area are discussed.
Subject: biogeomorphology; biomorphodynamics; tidal wetlands; vegetation patterns; cellular automata; coevolution; coupled vegetation–landform evolution; dune evolution; ecogeomorphological models; fluvial erosion; landform evolution; river channels
