Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration 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.

Nonlinear seismic response characteristics of a coral island site

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
The seismic safety evaluation of the coral islands in the South China Sea is an urgent and fundamental scientific issue. For a coral island in the South China Sea, the cyclic triaxial tests on 16 sets of saturated coral sand samples are performed.

Propagation method and species drive survival patterns across reef zones in coral seeding on the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral reef restoration increasingly relies on scalable methods, yet outcomes vary across species, propagation techniques, and habitats. Coral seeding, where coral propagules are settled on deployment units before outplanting, provides a flexible approach that accommodates both asexual (e.g. microfragments) and sexual (e.g.

Coral community dynamics and disturbances : a modelling approach for Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yes
The capacity of reefs to recover after disturbance is fundamental to prediction of their stability. This is particularly relevant now, following the global decline of reefs during the last decades.

Formation process of the gravel‐dominated deposit from the 2011 Tohoku‐oki tsunami in Ofunato, northeastern Japan, inferred by integrating sedimentology and tsunami modelling

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

Thermal Stress Is Associated With Fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica Meadows

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
By combining a physiological model of cumulative thermal stress with AI‐based seagrass mapping, we show that chronic sublethal warming is associated with fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows and increased regression risk by 2100. ABSTRACT Posidonia oceanica meadows, which underpin Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, are undergoing ...

Experimental study on development patterns of volumetric strain and predictive modeling for saturated coral sands

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The coral sand has better drainage conditions, and the drainage deformation of the saturated coral sand under earthquake and wave loads can easily cause damage to the seabed and nearby structures.
