Research Progress on the Morphology and Dynamics Development of Coastal Nebkhas

Redai dili
Coastal nebkhas are an important component of coastal sand dune ecosystems, widely distributed at varying scales, and the key subject of coastal aeolian geomorphology research.

Study of sand dunes and coastal erosion at Mustang Island and North Padre Island

, 2023
Structures within nature are often found to be resilient to withstand harsh environments, dunes for example offer protection against wind and tidal erosion.

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Dynamics of engineered coastal dune landscapes at the Zandmotor

Discover Geoscience
Coastal dune systems are increasingly threatened by sea level rise, increasing human activities, and changing wind and wave climate, leading to coastal squeeze.

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.

Distribution of Phytolacca americana in a coastal sand dune

Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2014
This study examined the main factors affecting the distribution of Phytolacca americana , an exotic plant species in Korea, in coastal sand dunes. The areas examined from June 2004 to February 2006 were in Sindusagu where was located on Sindu-ri, Wonbuk-myen, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do.

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 ...

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.
