Physical and chemical characterization of recycled glass sand for environmental restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction We rely on coastal resources for food, water, and energy. However, over 75% of U.S. coastlines are eroding. Concurrently, the U.S. recycles less glass than other developed countries, landfilling hundreds of millions of tons every year.

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.

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 ...

Gaining ground: survival of native estuarine fauna exposed to recycled glass sand, a potential material for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The aim of this research is to develop an understanding of the potential for using recycled glass sand as a resource for restoring Louisiana's coastline by testing the effects of exposure of native estuarine fauna to recycled glass sand and other sand treatments in a laboratory environment.

Fish assemblage at a newly restored tidal wetland reflects surrounding waterways in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction We studied the response of fish assemblages, water quality, and plankton following the completion of 700 acres of a 1184‐acre tidal restoration project (Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration; DSTR) in a system degraded by water diversions, channelization, non‐native species, and wetland loss.

Not all rhodoliths need a bed–depositional mechanisms in shallow water Sporolithon nodosum rhodoliths from the Whangaparaoa peninsula (North Island, New Zealand)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rhodoliths, formed by crustose coralline algae (CCA), are prominent components in carbonate platform deposits, contributing to the characteristic rhodalgal facies. Their formation is influenced by both biological and physical factors, and under specific conditions, they can accumulate, forming extensive rhodolith beds.

Rethinking microtidal systems: Tidal signatures in the fluvial deposits of the Po River, Italy

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In microtidally influenced rivers, tides are generally assumed to leave virtually no signatures in the sedimentary record. However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack ...
