Journal of Maps, 2019 The sand islands and shore-attached dune fields of south east Queensland form the world’s oldest and largest coastal sand dune system. Here we present updated morphological maps for the dune fields based on topographic expression and geomorphic ...

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Geographica, 2023 In this article, desertification and dune progression over vegetation was quantified using remote sensing data. However, vegetation buried under sand blowout could not be counted using this method.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Experimental characterization of a new sustainable sand concrete in an aggressive environment
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2020 The scarcity of building materials and the shortage of coarse aggregates which represents the main component of concrete is a problem in the most third world countries, especially in the vast desert areas in Algeria.

Radionuclide transfer to invertebrates and small mammals in a coastal sand dune ecosystem
, 2009 International intercomparisons of models to assess the impact of ionising radiation on wildlife have identified radionuclide transfer assumptions as a significant source of uncertainty in the modelling process. There is a need to improve the underpinning

Both density‐ and frequency‐dependent effects determine plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem
Oikos, EarlyView.We tested the hypothesis that both density‐ and frequency‐dependent interactions play important roles in determining plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem at several levels of available nitrogen. Plant growth was measured using the pin‐point method in a five‐block experiment with four nitrogen levels.

Ecological studies of isopoda and diplopoda in dune grassland [PDF]
, 1978 Distribution, population dynamics, biomass and population production of macrodecomposers have been studied in order to clarify the role of four species in the processes of energy transfer in a dune grassland ecosystem.

Habitat loss reshuffles ecological and evolutionary interactions in a seed dispersal network
Oikos, EarlyView.In tropical forests, habitat loss reshapes species composition, favoring generalists and recently emerged lineages while specialists and older evolutionary lineages are lost. However, how changes in species ecological attributes and evolutionary history affect ecological processes is poorly explored.

Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2012 Extreme damage was caused by wave and wind erosion on sand dunes on the Baltic coast near Palanga in Lithuania. Waves breached a wide ‘corridor’ or ‘blowout’ through the coastal sand dune. A progressively widening breached blowout developed.

Estimating Grain Sizes of Martian Dune Sand: A Freeware‐Based Methodology With Initial Results
Earth and Space ScienceGrain sizes of Martian sand dunes are critical sedimentological data on sand provenance and transport pathways. Thermal inertia values are used to characterize the grain sizes of dune sand. Most early characterizations involved single dune fields. Recent
