Biogeology

The study of living things as if they were geological features of the Earth. From this perspective, a forest is not a community of trees, but a slowly moving, self-sustaining landform. A coral reef is a living rock formation. A herd of wildebeest is a temporary, mobile topographical feature, like a migrating dune. It emphasizes the immense, slow, and planet-shaping power of life, viewing organisms as active agents in the Earth's geological processes, but without any of the "liveliness" we normally associate with them.
Example: "The beavers damning the stream weren't just animals to him; through the lens of biogeology, they were a slow-motion, furry landslide actively reshaping the valley."
