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.

Coastal Sand Dunes in the San'in District, Japan

The Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-Kenkyu), 1975
Most of the San' in sand dunes are those of‘dune ridge’(dune on the beach ridge) type which was proposed in the essay of D.W. JOHNSON (1919). So called‘old dunes’are not the simple dunes but old dunes on the old beach ridge and beach berm which formed at +25m former sea level.

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 ...

An evaluation of coastal sand dune flora of Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, India: perspectives for conservation and management

Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes
Most of the sand dunes close to the Cuddalore coast of India have been destroyed due to human pressure. The remaining coastal sand dune (CSD) is under extreme threat due to unplanned development.

Restoring delta resilience: phased socio‐ecological model for coastal recovery in Mediterranean Turkey

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal delta regions experiencing long‐term ecological degradation and sudden natural disasters require restoration approaches that are adaptive, process‐based, and context‐specific. The Samandağ coastline in southern Turkey, part of the Mediterranean Asi River Delta, has faced hydrological disruption, habitat fragmentation, and ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities in sand bars associated with Ipomoea pes‐caprae: a promising strategy for petroleum spill bioremediation in coastal dunes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of petroleum‐derived compounds known for causing cellular damage and for their recalcitrant behavior, severely limit effective biodegradation. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from oil‐contaminated environments can mitigate PAH‐related stress on host plants, highlighting the ...

Coastal sand dunes of southeast Sri Lanka

Journal of the National Science Foundation of Sri Lanka, 1990
Sand dunes are the most common landforms of the Sri .Lankan coasts even though little attention has been paid to them in the field of geomorphological studies in the island. In the first part of this study.the large-scale factors governing the sand dune formation are analysed, as an introduction to the aeolian environment of thc SE coast. In the second

Multi‐generation analysis of whether local or genetically mixed populations perform best in restoration plantings

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Proper selection of genetic material is critical for restoring populations, with local seed often selected to maximize local adaptation. But if local populations are small, inbred, or maladapted, then including genotypes from various populations may enhance population growth and long‐term adaptation.

Using UAVs to Monitor the Evolution of Restored Coastal Dunes

Remote Sensing
In this paper, an innovative method consisting of the construction of an artificial dune reinforced with a composite made by combining sand and seagrass wrack is presented.
