Thresholds in Road Network Functioning on US Atlantic and Gulf Barrier Islands

Earth's Future, 2022
Barrier islands predominate the Atlantic and Gulf coastlines of the USA, where population and infrastructure growth exceed national trends. Forward‐looking models of barrier island dynamics often include feedbacks with real estate markets and management ...

Barrier island resilience assessment: Applying the ecological principles to geomorphological data

, 2020
Applying the ecological resilience principles to barrier island geomorphological evolution requires approaches that perceive and interpret resilience far from predefined barrier characteristics and static views. Accepting that barrier islands, like all

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Open-Ocean Barrier Islands along the Indus Delta Region

Remote Sensing, 2019
Barrier islands (BIs) have been designated as the first line of defense for coastal human assets against rising sea level. Global mean sea level may rise from 0.21 to 0.83 m by the end of 21st century as predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on ...

The persistence and conversion of coastal foredune and swale vegetation community distributions 63 years later

Ecosphere, 2023
Vegetation shifts can directly alter habitat dynamics and indirectly impact habitat stability relative to disturbance response. Barrier island dune habitats exhibit spatiotemporally dynamic topography that is affected by vegetation.
