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 ...

Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2012 Extreme damage was caused by wave and wind erosion on sand dunes on the Baltic coast near Palanga in Lithuania. Waves breached a wide ‘corridor’ or ‘blowout’ through the coastal sand dune. A progressively widening breached blowout developed.

Applied Sciences, 2021 Since ecological phenomena and patterns vary with scale, scalar analysis is a developing practice in ecology. Scalar analysis is most valuable in heterogeneous environments, since habitat heterogeneity is a key factor in determining biodiversity.

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 ...

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.

COASTAL SAND DUNES OF TANEGASHIMA ISLAND
Geographical Review of Japan, 1971 On the Tanegashima Island, to the southwest of Japan, marine terraces are widely deve-loped and formations of coastal dunes also are extensively noticed on all the periphery of the island. Aeolian sands of this island are classified into several groups from the view point of stratigraphic feature in the deposits.
