Focusing on the ecology of recently-deglaciated terrain, this comprehensive review emphasizes the importance of understanding the interplay between physical and biological processes in landscape development. It critically assesses current methodologies and proposes a geoecological model that connects vegetation and soil dynamics with topographic, climatic, and geomorphic factors. This approach not only interprets the ecological diversity of glacier forelands globally but also sets a research agenda for future studies in the field.
