Initial Plant Growth in Sand Mine Spoil Amended with Peat Moss and Fertilizer Under Greenhouse Conditions: Potential Species for Use in Reclamation [PDF]
, 2012 The Great Lakes Basin exhibits the largest collection of freshwater sand dunes in the world. Sand dunes are ecologically important and support a unique assemblage of flora and fauna. Sand dunes are also economically valuable. However, when sand dunes are

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the way sustainable innovation, conceptualized as a second‐order construct integrating sustainable orientation and innovation culture, impacts triple bottom line (TBL) performance. It also examines the mediating roles of product, process, organizational, and marketing innovations.

A parameterization of flow separation over subaqueous dunes [PDF]
, 2007 Flow separation plays a key role in the development of dunes, and modeling the complicated flow behavior inside the flow separation zone requires much computational effort.

Ecography, EarlyView.Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

, 2001 Dunes are landforms which occur when a turbulent fluid flow occurs above an erodible substrate. The most obvious example occurs in deserts, where the wind blows sand into a wide variety of different shapes (see Chap. 17 for many illustration of such dunes). Linear dunes, or ‘seifs’, are ridges which form parallel to the prevailing wind direction, while

The significance of vegetation, fire and man in the stabilisation of sand dunes near the Warburton Ranges, Central Australia [PDF]
, 1971 The vegetation cover of sand dunes and sandplain country in a part of Central Australia is aperiodically destroyed by fire, caused by lightning and Aboriginal activities.

, 2007 We present the first calculation of saltation transport and dune formation on Mars and compare it to real dunes. We find that the rate at which grains are entrained into saltation on Mars is one order of magnitude higher than on Earth.
