Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Physical and chemical characterization of recycled glass sand for environmental restoration

open access: yesRestoration 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.

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration 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 ...

Sedimentary biogeochemical provinces in the northern limit of the oxygen minimum zone from the northeastern Mexican Pacific

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Continental margins are reservoirs of materials of terrestrial and marine origin, and they play a crucial role in understanding the spatial and temporal variability of biogeochemical cycles. This, in turn, provides insights into the development and intensity of oxygen minimum zones (OMZs).

Mid‐infrared spectroscopy applied to a multi‐level cave system (Montmaurin, SW France): An innovative method for assessing sediment provenance

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...
