Sand‐Hungry: Accumulations, Erosions, and the Self‐Feeding Logic of Beach Renourishment
Antipode, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 1105-1125, May 2025.Abstract This paper interrogates the metaphor of beach renourishment to show how this common coastal engineering practice feeds its own logic. In a coastal town in Florida, renourishment (the practice of dredging sand to combat erosion) shores up the coastline materially and, importantly, politically, as a wider beachfront protects coastal property ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 582-597, March 2025.This study is an empirical demonstration of the importance of tree species identity cover in shaping the distribution of the herb layer, surpassing the effects of tree diversity alone. By considering the significance of tree species identity cover, we can inform forest management and conservation measures, improve spatial prediction of herb‐layer ...
