hey exoerts!! please help ne with this question ! how does density, type and distribution of vegetation influence exogenic geomorphic processes indirectly ?!
Dear Student,
- The vegetation covering determines the intensity with which physical or biochemical processes operate.
- In cold arid regions, the plant cover is sparse, so physical processes dominate.
- In humid tropical forests, chemical weathering dominates.
- Vegetation binds soil and reduces the intensity of soil erosion.
- It physically checks the advance of erosional forces like winds.
