Similar vegetation‐geomorphic disturbance feedbacks shape unstable glacier forelands across mountain regions by Jana Eichel, Daniel Draebing, Stefan Winkler, Nele Meyer

“…This suggests that such species can act as “biogeomorphic” ecosystem engineers that stabilize ground through positive feedback loops. Across floristic regions, biogeomorphic ecosystem engineer traits creating ground stabilization, such as mat growth and association with mycorrhiza, are remarkably similar. …”
