Stressing the significance of vegetation in geomorphology, an often ignored area, it presents the results of the 1988 British Geomorphological Research Group conference, which brought together work in progress or recently completed on plant processes and geomorphological interactions. According to the editor, these results, while encouraging, are only a start, indicating a preponderance of past work dealing with vegetation simply as an extrinsic variable. The text focuses on vegetation as a highly dynamic and vital component that affects virtually all processes and therefore all geomorphological histories. By raising these and other issues, it indicates a variety of avenues for future investigation.
