Suspension Feeders on Sandy Beaches
2001Sandy beaches are the most common coastal habitat on temperate and tropical coasts; comprising about 75 % of the world’s coastal zone (Bascom 1980). Exposed sandy beaches support a diverse and abundant macroinfauna (Brown and McLachlan 1990). In terms of species richness, sandy beach macroinfauna is dominated by crustaceans, bivalves and polychaetes ...

Physical Variability of Sandy Beaches
1983This paper examines sandy beach types that exist in wave environments ranging from low ( 2.5m). Three basic beach types — reflective, intermediate and dissipative, composed of six beach states have been identified. Each beach state can be classified by its wave-sediment characteristics.

Sandy Beach Ecophysiology — Workshop Report
1983The ecophysiology workshop held on 21.1.83 was designed to concentrate primarily on gaps in our knowledge and possible errors in our concepts, although in the event a broad range of topics was discussed.

Patterns of sandy-beach macrofauna production
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2013Using data available from the literature, patterns of biomass, production and productivity of sandy-beach macrofauna populations were examined, considering environmental (temperature, exposure, grain size and beach slope) and biological variables (life span and mean body mass) and feeding and taxonomic groups.

Nutrient Cycling in Sandy Beaches
1983The statement (Pugh 1975) that marine sandy beaches are, for the most part a chemical and microbiological “no man’s land” remains true in 1983, for still the majority of marine chemists and microbiologists have stopped short at the low water mark, and their soil science colleagues have not ventured beyond the sand dunes. Between these boundaries lies a

Sandy Beach Ecology — A Review
1983Sandy beaches dominate most temperate and tropical coastlines where they represent both important recreational assets and buffer zones against the sea. In some areas they are very productive and are exploited commercially. However, they have been regarded as marine deserts by many biologists and were largely neglected until Remane (1933) began studies ...

Sediment Reworking on Sandy Beaches
1983A sandy beach is actually a prism of sediment, as shown in Figure 1. The prism is subjected to reworking at various time scales; if it were otherwise, the sandy beach would evolve into a stable vegetated land form. Under the impact of extreme events, the prism is subject to extension at the landward limit to include the incipient foredune (which is ...
