Geomorphological Features of Coastal Dunes along the Central Adriatic Coast (Abruzzo, Italy)

open access: yes, 2011
The main geomorphological features of dunes/beaches were investigated along the central Adriatic coast of Italy (Abruzzo). Nine foredune areas typified by established dunes and incipient dunes were investigated through detailed geomorphological surveying

From distant shores to an emerging island: the role of surface and subsurface transport in modeling seed dispersal

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

Mid- to Late-Quaternary evolution of the Wilderness Barrier dunes, South Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Barrier dunes represent potentially long-term, but complex, archives of coastal evolution. The examples occupying the Wilderness embayment, on the southern Cape coast of South Africa, form a regionally unique system of three shore-parallel barriers ...

Towards Transformative Climate Governance: Capacities and Constraints for Local Government in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An emerging consensus calls for transformative climate governance. However, what instigates and sustains transformative pathways remains unclear. This study characterises the existence, quality and structural underpinnings of transformative governance capacities in local government climate change response in Aotearoa New Zealand, applying a ...

Assessing the Impact of a Winter Storm on the Beach and Dune Systems and Erosion Mitigation by Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The impact of storms on coastal dunes and beaches and the effects they induce in topography and plant communities are natural processes that contribute to maintaining natural coastal dynamics.

Unraveling the Interplay Between Collaborative Governance and Experimentation for Transformative Potential in Circular Water Systems: A Dutch Case Study

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater availability is a critical climate change challenge in coastal delta regions. This challenge requires a transformative change toward circular water management. While experimentation and collaborative governance are recognized as enablers of transformative change, their interaction remains complex and insufficiently understood ...

Remotely sensed dune celerity and sand flux measurements of the world's fastest barchans (Bodele, Chad)

open access: yes, 2008
Quantifying sand flux with field measurements is an expensive and time-consuming process. We here present an alternative approach using the COSI-Corr software package for Earth surface deformation detection.

Antimicrobial Sensitivity Profile and Resistance Gene Research in Escherichia coli Isolated From Water and Fish From Lagoa da Conceição, Florianópolis, SC, Brazil

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This paper highlights a concerning scenario of environmental contamination by multidrug‐resistant bacteria, underscoring the need for integrated surveillance and control strategies to address antimicrobial resistance in aquatic environments within the context of One Health.

Biomorphogenic Feedbacks and the Spatial Organization of a Dominant Grass Steer Dune Development

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Nature-based solutions to mitigate the impact of future climate change depend on restoring biological diversity and natural processes. Coastal foredunes represent the most important natural flood barriers along coastlines worldwide, but their area has ...

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and
