动物地貌学是对动物作为地貌因素的研究,在弹性理论和生物地貌系统的背景下很大程度上被忽视了。本文提供了外部景观干扰与动物地貌因素之间相互作用的例子。我们描述了自然发生的动物地貌因子占据景观的情况,并检查这些动物地貌因子是否为景观提供弹性,或者作为能够诱导相态转变的景观压力。描述了一些案例,其中外来的(引入的)动物地貌因素的存在压倒了景观并导致崩溃。在景观恢复力的背景下讨论了气候变化对具有动物地貌重要性的物种的影响。最后,我们用一个总结图来说明在案例研究的背景下动物地貌影响和景观恢复力之间存在的关系,并推测恢复力理论框架下动物地貌学研究的未来。
Zoogeomorphology, the study of animals as geomorphic agents, has been largely overlooked in the context of resilience theory and biogeomorphic systems. In this paper, examples are provided of the interactions between external landscape disturbances and zoogeomorphological agents. We describe cases in which naturally occurring zoogeomorphological agents occupy a landscape, and examine whether those zoogeomorphic agents provide resilience to a landscape or instead serve as a landscape stress capable of inducing a phase-state shift. Several cases are described whereby the presence of exotic (introduced) zoogeomorphic agents overwhelms a landscape and induce collapse. The impact of climate change on species with zoogeomorphological importance is discussed in the context of resilience of a landscape. We conclude with a summary diagram illustrating the relationships existing between zoogeomorphic impacts and landscape resilience in the context of our case studies, and speculate about the future of the study of zoogeomorphology in the framework of resilience theory.
