Landscape composition and land use impact the interactions between soil and vegetation. Differences in micro-behaviour, driven by the interplay of heterogeneous soil and vegetation dynamics, affect emergent characteristics across a landscape. Scaling approaches to understand the drivers of these emergent characteristics have been attempted, but the blueprint of interacting biophysical processes in landscapes is inherently messy and often still unknown. A complicating factor is single disciplinary focus in environmental sciences. Integrated knowledge is vital especially in view of future challenges posed by climate change, population growth, and soil threats. In this paper, we give examples of biophysical interactions that occur across various temporal and spatial scales and discuss how connectivity can be useful for bridging disciplines and scales to increase our understanding.

生物物理景观相互作用：通过学科联系学科和规模

景观组成和土地利用影响土壤与植被之间的相互作用。微观行为的差异是由异质土壤和植被动力学相互作用共同驱动的，会影响整个景观的新兴特征。已经尝试了采用标度方法来理解这些新兴特征的驱动因素，但是景观中相互作用的生物物理过程的蓝图固有地是混乱的，并且通常仍然是未知的。一个复杂的因素是环境科学的单一学科重点。鉴于气候变化，人口增长和土壤威胁所带来的未来挑战，综合知识至关重要。在本文中，
