Abstract: We introduce a novel framework for interactive landscape authoring that supports bi-directional feedback between erosion and vegetation simulation. Vegetation and terrain erosion have strong mutual impact and their interplay influences the overall realism of virtual scenes. Despite their importance, these complex interactions have been neglected in computer graphics. Our framework overcomes this by simulating the effect of a variety of geomorphological agents and the mutual interaction between different material and vegetation layers, including rock, sand, humus, grass, shrubs, and trees. Users are able to exploit these interactions with an authoring interface that consistently shapes the terrain and populates it with details. Our method, validated through side-by-side comparison with real terrains, can be used not only to generate realistic static landscapes, but also to follow the temporal evolution of a landscape over a few centuries.

Rhizomorph: The Coordinated Function of Shoots and Roots
TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel developmental procedural model for tree roots that enables us to emergently develop root systems that adapt to various soil types and shows that this model enables the generation of trees with their root systems for the first time.

Authoring multi-style terrain with global-to-local control
TL;DR: In this paper, a conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) is proposed to generate realistic terrain with certain style in computer graphics, which encourages and favors the maximum distance embedding of acquired styles in the latent space.

TL;DR: The LPJ model as mentioned in this paper combines process-based, large-scale representations of terrestrial vegetation dynamics and land-atmosphere carbon and water exchanges in a modular framework, including feedback through canopy conductance between photosynthesis and transpiration and interactive coupling between these 'fast' processes and other ecosystem processes.
