Association of Community-level Traits with Soil Properties in a Tropical Coastal Sand Dune
Environment and Natural Resources Journal, 2019 There is limited information regarding plant functional traits for plant communities in tropical coastal sand dunes. This study investigated differences in species trait compositions and the relationship between community-weighted mean (CWM ...

The role of the reef–dune system in coastal protection in Puerto Morelos (Mexico) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Reefs and sand dunes are critical morphological features providing natural coastal protection. Reefs dissipate around 90 % of the incident wave energy through wave breaking, whereas sand dunes provide the final natural barrier against coastal flooding.

Use of Nanosilica for Increasing Dune Erosion Resistance during a Sea Storm
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Dune recovery interventions that integrate natural, sustainable, and soft solutions have become increasingly popular in coastal communities. In the present study, the reliability of an innovative non-toxic colloidal silica-based solution for coastal sand

RESEARCH IN SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND INTO THE MANAGEMENT OF COASTAL SAND DUNES
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1980 Queensland's Beach Protection Act (1968-1974) resulted, inter alia in the formation of the Beach Protection Authority, which is responsible for investigating coastal erosion, planning remedial works, recording and evaluating results of investigations, and various other functions. Control of windblown sand and retention of vegetated and naturally stable

Vegetation Refuges of a Sand Lizard Assemblage in Temperate Coastal Sand Dunes
Journal of Herpetology, 2012 Natural refuges constitute a fundamental resource in the habitat of any given species. Consequently, the knowledge of those elements that are used as protection from predators is a priority for conservation. We studied the antipredatory mechanisms of an assemblage of sand dune lizards, determining whether refuge sites are random or whether particular ...
