Water Quality of the Beach in an Urban and not Urban Environment [PDF]
, 2017 Numerous studies and theories have emerged for evaluating the quality of beaches using different parameters. In recent years in the European region, one of the most important aspects when evaluating a beach is the quality of water and sand.

Evaluating methods for high‐resolution, national‐scale seagrass mapping in Google Earth Engine
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Marine habitat mapping using satellite imagery can provide baseline and monitoring data across large spatial scales and in remote locations globally. This study evaluates how key methodological choices influence the accuracy of open‐source (for non‐commercial use), cloud‐based satellite mapping workflows for seagrass meadows in the Maldives.

Metals' Adsorption Onto Environmental Microplastics at Shoreline Sediments
X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study assessed trace element concentrations and microplastic (MP) contamination in three sandy beaches on the southern coast of Ilha Grande (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Environmental MPs were manually extracted from sand samples, and beaches were classified using the microplastic pollution index (MPPI).

Do sandy beaches accumulate nitrogen?
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1986 A moderate-energy sandy beach receiving a hlgh natural organic load of stranded wrack was studied over 1 yr. Nitrogen input to the beach was calculated from wrack nitrogen content, an average standing stock of 72 kg m-' wet wrack and a turnover time of 9 d, estimated from litter bag (2mm mesh) experiments.

Microplastic Detectability Investigation in Soils Using X‐Ray Microtomography
X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT X‐ray microtomography (microCT) is a promising tool for investigating microplastic (MP) contamination in soils, offering non‐destructive 3D visualization and quantitative analysis of particles embedded in complex matrices. This study evaluated its applicability by mixing plastic fragments (PET, PEHD, PS, and PP) with humus‐rich and sandy soils
