Dispersion Mechanism and Sensitivity Analysis of Coral Sand

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
A lime–sand island–reef formation has a dual structure consisting of an overlying loose or weakly consolidated coral sand (CS) layer and an underlying reef limestone layer.

Nonlinear seismic response characteristics of a coral island site

Yantu 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.

The consequences of partial clonality on the spatiotemporal genetic structure of the red alga Chondria tumulosa (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction partition genetic diversity, but the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. Chondria tumulosa is a red macroalga that has been documented at high abundance in the three northernmost atolls ...

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.

Study of the Particle Breakage Characteristics of Coral Sand Under the Effect of Freezing–Seepage Coupling

Applied Sciences
In the development and construction of the South China Sea (SCS), coral sand is a kind of common natural construction material. Sanya submarine tunnel is the first application of artificial ground freezing (AGF) in the SCS. Since the tunnel is located at

Antifouling capacity of substrate materials and their effects on settlement and post‐settlement survival of Acropora palmata and Orbicella faveolata

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In coral reef restoration, sexual reproduction is a key methodology to enhance coral population recovery. However, post‐settlement survival remains a major bottleneck, as spat are particularly vulnerable to competition with fouling organisms.

Cenozoic tropical carbonate platforms in the Santos Basin, SE Brazilian Margin

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tropical carbonate platforms accompanied the latitudinal shifts of the tropical belt throughout the Cenozoic. Their flat‐topped geometries were influenced by a specific set of processes, including climate and sea‐level changes, carbonate facies, tectonics and continental runoff.
