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

Journal 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

Assessing the Potential of Jellyfish as an Organic Soil Amendment to Enhance Seed Germination and Seedling Establishment in Sand Dune Restoration

Agronomy, 2020
Worldwide, sandy coastlines are affected by extensive wind and water erosion. Both soil quality and periodic drought present major problems for sand dune restoration projects.

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 ...

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 ...

Morphological changes, beach inundation and overwash caused by an extreme storm on a low-lying embayed beach bounded by a dune system (NW Mediterranean) [PDF]

, 2016
The geomorphological evolution of a low-lying, micro-tidal sandy beach in the western Mediterranean, Pals beach, was characterized using airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Data were collected in prior to and six months after the impact of

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.

A field experiment on the use of biogeotextiles for the conservation of sand-dunes of the Baltic coast in Lithuania

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.
