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 ...

Is succession-based management of coastal dune forest restoration valid? [PDF]
, 2012 Here we test the predictions of succession in a restoration context to ascertain the validity of succession-based management. Our study took place in seven coastal dune forest sites of various ages regenerating after mining disturbance. We used our 16 yr
