Foliar salt spray exclusion and tissue tolerance underlie local adaptation to oceanic salt spray

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise Surviving the effects of oceanic salt spray is critical for plants in coastal ecosystems, yet the mechanisms of coastal plant resilience to salt spray are not well understood. We investigated mechanisms of salt spray adaptation by comparing five latitudinal pairs of yellow monkeyflower accessions locally adapted to coastal and inland ...

Use of Invasive Rugulopteryx okamurae Beach Wrack as Habitat and Food by Talitrus saltator

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of non‐native algae into coastal waters has increased worldwide, causing a range of ecological and socio‐economic impacts. However, when stranded on beaches as wrack, these invasive algae can provide refuge and food for supralittoral organisms, potentially benefiting local fauna communities and beach functioning. In this study,

Pinus pinea L. Periderm as a Sustainable Source of Phenolic Bioactives: Integrated Phytochemical, Antioxidant, and Elemental Investigation

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
A hydroalcoholic extract from the renewable periderm of Pinus pinea is characterized through integrated phytochemical, biological and elemental analyses. The extract exhibits a phenolic‐rich composition, significant antioxidant activity and preliminary protection against oxidative stress in SH‐SY5Y cells, while elemental profiling indicates low levels ...

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.

Dune grass production is positively associated with marine nutrient subsidies on US Central Atlantic coast foredunes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Resource subsidies, or the flow of energy across ecosystem boundaries, can influence community structure and function and act as important nutrient sources to less productive ecosystems, particularly in marine and coastal zones. Coastal dunes, connected to the nearshore through sandy beaches, likely depend on the delivery of marine subsidies ...

Cattle and bison grazing decreases monarch egg and larval abundance in the Central United States

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Monarch butterflies have experienced massive population declines and have been proposed to be listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) are the sole host plant for monarch larvae, and milkweed abundance has dramatically declined in the past 25 years due to increased usage of herbicides and the ...

Impact of an extreme storm event on a multiple intertidal barred coastal system

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extreme storms do not necessarily cause extreme coastal erosion. Integrated DGPS surveys and SWAN nearshore wave modelling reveal that Storm Barra's peak coincided with a low‐tide stage, allowing multiple intertidal bars (MITBs) to dissipate incoming wave energy before it reached Dundrum Bay's shoreline, highlighting the combined role of tidal stage ...
