Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

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.

Restoration tools and strategies for afforested Mediterranean coastal grasslands: is eucalypt removal alone enough to kickstart ecosystem recovery?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...

Tightening the Regulatory Grip: Local Regulatory Stringency and Sectoral Platform Regulation in EU Cities

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Platform companies like Uber and Airbnb are depicted as agile policy entrepreneurs who can navigate the boundaries of regulatory frameworks and manipulate regulations to their advantage; however, recent empirical studies suggest that their capacity to influence policy depends on the particular political and institutional context.

The Impact of an Integrated steM Camp on Middle School Students' Enjoyment, Career Knowledge, and Career Interest

School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Much of the work in STEM camps tends to be science‐driven with little attention given to mathematics. Guided by a mixed methods embedded research design using data from observations, questionnaires, and a group interview, we investigate if a camp that explicitly integrates mathematics had a positive impact on middle school students' STEM ...

Exploring 2D Geometric Shape Classification Using AI‐Driven Feature Tables in Mathematics

School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the effectiveness of an AI‐integrated instructional task designed to enhance preservice teachers' understanding of the features and hierarchical relationships of 2D geometric shapes. Originally developed and tested in online K‐12 professional development settings, this intervention was adapted for in‐person preservice ...
