Zoogeomorphology

Zoogeomorphology is the study of the effects of animals as geomorphic agents. Animals erode the landscape, transport sediment, and produce landforms through a variety of processes including burrowing, digging for food, mounding of sediments, trampling and chiseling the landscape, and by construction (in the case of beavers) of dams that impound water, create ponds, and sequester sediments. Although a fairly recent subdiscipline, a rich variety of studies typify modern zoogeomorphology. Zoogeomorphic impacts in the future are being affected by climate change and human alterations of the landscape.
