Phytogenic mounds (nebkhas): effect of Tricomaria usillo on sand entrapment in central-west of Argentina [PDF]

, 2016
Nebkhas, developed by the trapping of sand within the body of a plant, were studied in the Médanos Grandes system, arid central Argentina, during the springs of 2009-2010.In this system, formed by megadunes and overlapping dunes, nebkhas dynamism was ...

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Seabed classification in the Gulf of Alaska from acoustic surveys using deep learning

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐resolution mapping of seafloor habitats has wide applications for fisheries, conservation efforts, offshore infrastructure planning, mineral extraction, and scientific modeling. This study leverages existing widespread single‐beam acoustic data and machine learning to create habitat maps for the Gulf of Alaska at a spatial resolution of ...

Isolation and identification of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria from Spinifex littoreus in Parangkusumo Coastal Sand Dunes, Indonesia [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Utilizing coastal land for agriculture presents challenges such as low water content, high soil salinity, and low organic compound content. To support plant growth under these conditions, biofertilizers composed of plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria ...

EROSION OF VEGETATED COASTAL DUNES [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2014
Coastal dunes can protect communities and infrastructure against storm surge and wave attack. They provide a natural barrier of granular material that erodes during storm conditions and dissipates wave energy in the process. Vegetation is abundantly present in most coastal dunes and may enhance the capability of the dune to withstand erosion.

Regional variation of habitat tolerance by some European spiders (Araneae) - a review [PDF]

, 2009
The data presented by HÄNGGI et al. (1995) and BOLAÑOS (2003) on the habitats of a large number of European spiders are examined, most of which appear to show non-specific preferences.

The chronostratigraphy of Late Pleistocene glacial and periglacial aeolian activity in the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands, NWT, Canada [PDF]

, 2006
Aeolian periglacial sand deposits are common in the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands of Western Arctic Canada. Regionally extensive and thick aeolian sand-sheet deposits have been observed in two major stratigraphic settings: within a sand unit characterized by ...

Sampling effort to characterize estuarine macroinfaunal communities in patchy habitats

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Estuarine benthic macroinfauna have aggregated, patchy distributions, making accurate community measurements dependent upon sampling scales. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate core sizes and sampling effort needed to characterize benthic infaunal communities in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, USA.

Tsunami inundation characteristics along the Japan Sea coastline: effect of dunes, breakwaters, and rivers

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022
For Japanese coastal communities along the Japan Sea, where the risk of earthquake-induced tsunamis is deemed lower than that along the Pacific Ocean, tsunami disaster mitigation strategies have not been sufficiently developed.

A survey of selected coastal vegetation communities of Florida [PDF]

, 1977
A survey of coastal vegetation around Florida was conducted during 1973 and 1974. Seventeen sites were selected and sampled using the transect method to determine species occurrence, relative densities, and habitat development and structure.
