Abstract: Sandy shores serve multiple ecosystem services, including recreation. To what extent these services can coexist is unclear, especially given increasing stressors such as rising sea levels and urbanization. We investigated the effect of recreational pressure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2021.107594
Abstract: Abstract As the land-sea interface, foredunes buffer upland habitats with plants acting as ecosystem engineers shaping topography, and thereby affecting storm response and recovery. However, many ecogeomorphic feedbacks in coastal foredune formation and recovery remain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jpe/rtx033
Abstract: Dune building processes are affected by interactions between the growth of ecosystem engineering dune grasses and environmental factors associated with disturbance such as sand burial and sea spray. Research investigating how species interactions influence dune… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.14859
Abstract: The increasing frequency and severity of disturbances to coastal dune ecosystems requires developing and implementing restoration strategies that rapidly accelerate reâestablishment of vegetation, enhance dune accretion, and ultimately preserve dune ecosystem services. To assess how… read more here.
