Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

Oikos, EarlyView.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

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 ...

Factors controlling soil development in sand dunes: evidence from a coastal dune soil chronosequence [PDF]

Plant and Soil, 2008
Aerial photographs, maps and optically stimulated luminescence dates were combined with existing soil data to construct high resolution chronosequences of soil development over 140 years at a temperate Atlantic UK dune system. Since soil formation had progressed for varying duration under different climate and nitrogen deposition regimes, it was ...

Hampton-Seabrook Estuary Habitat Restoration Compendium [PDF]

, 2009
The goal of this report is to identify restoration opportunities within the watershed derived from data on habitat change. Many other factors exist that are important in the identification and selection of restoration projects, including water quality ...

‘This restless enemy of all fertility’: exploring paradigms of coastal dune management in Western Europe over the last 700 years [PDF]

, 2015
Drifting sand has inundated settlements and damaged agricultural land along the coasts of Western Europe for the last 700 years. The need to control sand migration has been an important driver of the management of coastal sand dunes and here we analyse ...

Marine litter can shift sea turtle nests toward the shoreline

Oikos, EarlyView.
Marine litter is an emerging threat to sea turtle rookeries, yet its effects on nesting behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how macro‐litter accumulation on beaches influences the spatial distribution of loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta nests on Boa Vista Island, Cabo Verde.

The conflict between urban planning and the preservation of sand dunes – The case of the Big Dune in the city of Ashdod, Israel

City and Environment Interactions, 2020
The town of Ashdod in Israel has historical roots from the Bronze Age. During the long history, Ashdod was located on a low hill of aeolianite (lithified sand dune) a couple of kilometers east of the sand dunes, while the sand dunes were active because ...

Regional variation of habitat tolerance by some European spiders (Araneae) - a review [PDF]

, 2009
The data presented by HÄNGGI et al. (1995) and BOLAÑOS (2003) on the habitats of a large number of European spiders are examined, most of which appear to show non-specific preferences.

Organic amendment increases arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity in primary coastal dunes [PDF]

, 2016
Plastic pots were inserted beneath seedlings of a shallow-rooted C4 grass species, Ischaemum indicum, with and without a root-impenetrable nylon sachet filled with organic matter (OM) amendment, at seven stations along an interrupted belt ...

Detecting social‐ecological fit in Natura 2000 governance and management: Evidence from LIFE projects focused on forest protected habitat types

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...
