SUMMARY:Earth surface shaping by biotic processes
DESCRIPTION:In this symposium international speakers will review how organi
 sms not only respond to the Earth’s surface, but also directly modify and c
 ontrol it to promote their own persistence. Plants and animals can directly
  control the fluxes of energy and matter that underlie biogeochemical cycle
 s, gas fluxes, sediment transport and form new habitats. Recent recognition
  of biotic interactions with Earth surface processes has led to a new Geosc
 ience paradigm: The Earth’s surface is not only the product of tectonic for
 ces (mountain building) and climate (destroying relief by weathering and er
 osion), but also through biotic processes that are active over micro- to ma
 croscopic scales. Biota moderates tectonic and climate controls on surface 
 processes and is an equally important player in shaping the Earth.\n\nThis 
 symposium will review the findings that triggered this paradigm shift, for 
 example that \n\nthe activity of biota extends to great depth (the “deep bi
 osphere”)soil development is related to plant diversity and burrowing anima
 lsplants diverge the flow and evaporation of water higher plants can induce
  the uptake of mineral nutrients that vastly exceeds the rock weathering of
  these elementsvegetation moderates soil erosionlarge river floodplains are
  stabilized by plants. \n\nThe symposium will combine geoscience, soil, eco
 logy, hydrology, and geobiology research to discuss how new developments in
  each of these fields should be employed to quantify the entire chain of Ea
 rth surface processes influenced by biotic activities, and how these develo
 pments can be used to form predictions of global change\n\nFoto: "Landschaf
