This project will support a research conference on "Geomorphology and Vegetation: Interactions, Dependencies, and Feedback Loops" to be held in October 2009, at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA. The goal is to advance basic and applied thinking across the discipline of biogeomorphology. The symposium has the following specific objectives: 1) stimulate cross-disciplinary discussion; 2) synthesize new ideas; 3) enable future interdisciplinary collaborations; and 4) foster student and young researcher participation. The organizers have invited a range of speakers who conduct research on the interactions of vegetation over a wide array of geomorphic settings, including arid lands, uplands, floodplains, and along and within channel boundaries.Landform change resulting from linkages among flowing water, sediment, and vegetation is a highly complex natural process, due to feedbacks among the interacting components operating over a range of spatial and temporal scales. True understanding of landscape development requires knowledge of the particular role of vegetation in influencing physical processes, especially in efforts to predict the effects of climate change. This research symposium will bring together a diverse group of scientists who will discover avenues for future collaborations across the realm of this topic.

该项目将支持于2009年10月在弗吉尼亚州布莱克斯堡的弗吉尼亚理工大学举行的“地貌学和植被：相互作用、依赖关系和反馈循环”研究会议，其目标是推进生物地貌学学科的基础和应用思维。研讨会有以下具体目标：1)促进跨学科讨论；2)综合新思想；3)实现未来的跨学科合作；4)促进学生和青年研究者的参与。组织者邀请了一系列演讲者，他们对各种地貌环境下植被的相互作用进行研究，包括干旱地区、高地、洪泛平原，以及海峡边界沿线和内部。水流、泥沙和植被三者之间的相互作用导致的地貌变化是一个高度复杂的自然过程，其相互作用的成分在一定的时空尺度上相互反馈作用。要真正了解景观发展，就必须了解植被在影响物理过程中的特殊作用，特别是在预测气候变化影响的努力中。这次研究研讨会将汇集不同的科学家群体，他们将发现未来在这一主题领域的合作途径。
