Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Physical and chemical characterization of recycled glass sand for environmental restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction We rely on coastal resources for food, water, and energy. However, over 75% of U.S. coastlines are eroding. Concurrently, the U.S. recycles less glass than other developed countries, landfilling hundreds of millions of tons every year.

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

Restoring the lost Ericaceae of Botany Bay's scrublands through a paleoecological approach in southeastern Sydney, Australia

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction With anthropogenic environmental change accelerating, incorporating long‐term perspectives into ecological restoration is essential. Paleoecological evidence increasingly indicates that many perceived “natural” landscapes under current conservation regimes are, in fact, cultural or modern systems.

Reducing the impact of wave attack: dunes as natural buffers [PDF]

Coastal dune systems, with their self-regenerating capacity after storm erosion, represent natural defense zones against flooding of the hinterland. Condition: the total dune volume exceeds a certain minimum value related to the safety standard. As such,
