Habitat Differentiation and Trait Variation Across Disturbance Gradients in Coastal Plant Communities of the Andaman Coast, Thailand

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Tree communities in a tropical coastal dune system exhibited distinct habitat differentiation across a sea‐to‐land disturbance gradient. These habitat differences were reflected in species composition, species diversity, and community‐weighted mean wood density.

Permanent nearshore sediment loss and inevitable retreat of cohesive bluff‐backed beaches

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
Net volume in survey control areas at the dune‐backed beach (PB) and bluff‐backed beach (LD) is shown between surveys (‘interval’), where the first point is the difference between 2012 and 2020 JABLTCX LiDAR surveys. Cumulative totals are shown as square markers. Water levels during the same dates are shown in grey.

Assessing Drivers of Alongshore Variation in Historical Coastal Dune Evolution: A Field and Model‐Based Approach

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The protective services provided by coastal foredunes vary spatially due to alongshore differences in dune morphology and hydrodynamic forcing. This study aims to quantify the drivers of alongshore variability of dune evolution across spatial (40‐km) and temporal (multi‐decadal) scales. The alongshore variability in dune evolution is extracted

North Pacific Extreme Storms Reconstructed With a Novel Approach to Estimating Storm Frequency and Uncertainty

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Sedimentary archives of tropical cyclones have been primarily developed in back barrier settings and karst basins at low to mid‐latitude sites in the Atlantic. Here, a unique record of high‐latitude storms is presented from Skan Bay, Unalaska in the Eastern Aleutian Islands. Storm‐induced coarse deposits in a 20.5 m composite sediment core are

Stratigraphy Preserved on the Jezero Crater Rim Reveals Repeated Impacts on Early Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The outer slopes of the western Jezero crater rim are hypothesized to expose sections of Early‐ to Pre‐Noachian crust uplifted by the Jezero impact, providing an excellent opportunity to investigate the earliest geologic processes active on terrestrial planets.

Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 808-834, July 2026.
The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Primary vegetation development on the sand spit of Shallow Inlet, Wilsons Promontory, southern Victoria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The sand spit that separates Shallow Inlet from Waratah Bay (38º52ʹ S, 146º13ʹ E), near Wilsons Promontory in southern Victoria, has developed since the previous spit was washed out in 1901.

Upland Afforestation Desiccates Downslope Wetlands on Sandy Soil

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Afforestation of formerly open, water‐limited habitats is a globally widespread form of land conversion, driven by the need for timber and non‐timber forest products, and capturing atmospheric carbon. However, increased tree cover can adversely affect hydrological cycles by increasing evapotranspiration and reducing downslope water yield ...

28 years of vegetation change (1978 – 2006) in a calcareous coastal dune system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Changes in vegetation structure and composition over a 28 year period (1978–2006) following removal of human-induced disturbances, were examined in a calcareous coastal dune system in Point Nepean National Park (380 19’S, 1440 41’E) in south-eastern ...
