Response of natural, modified and artificial sandy beaches to sea-level rise
Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2022 Sandy beaches occur in a wide variety of environmental settings and as components of a diverse range of coastal system types. These variations among beaches lead to significant differences in their mesoscale (multi-decadal, km length scale) behaviour ...

Low faunal diversity on Maltese sandy beaches : fact or artefact? [PDF]
, 2003 Eight sandy beaches on Malta and two on Gozo were sampled for macrofauna to test the hypothesis that Maltese beaches have an intrinsically low diversity.

Local urbanization impacts sandy beach macrofauna communities over time
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Sandy beaches are ecologically important, physically dynamic, and heterogeneous habitats intrinsically related to human culture. However, these interactions present challenges for sandy beaches in the Anthropocene as stressors from urbanization increase.

Estimation of alongshore sediment discharge on pebble and sandy beaches [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 A unified approach has been developed to assess the integral alongshore sediment transport for the conditions of heterogeneous pebble and sandy beaches. The energy formulas for determining the sediment discharge have been modified for the conditions for ...

Sandy Beaches Changing in Line withUrbanization Visual Quality Values
International Journal of Built Environment and Sustainability, 2022 The coasts are the intersection area of land and sea ecosystems, where people are always interested and benefit from many activities. However, unplanned developments as a result of rapid population growth and migration in these regions are ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Marine litter can end up deposited on sandy beaches and become entangled in the natural wrack, threatening its roles in ecosystems. However, it is currently unknown whether the storage of both artificial and natural accumulations on sandy beaches is ...

Migrations of Sandy Beach Meiofauna [PDF]
Zoologica Africana, 1977 The meiofauna at higher tide levels on a sheltered beach has been found to undergo vertical migrations correlated with the alternate drying and wetting of the sand during the tidal cycle. This movement may be modified by temperature differences between summer and winter and day and night.
