Coasts in general and estuaries in particular are the most dramatically variable environments in the world ocean realm. Interactions between physical processes, geomorphology, and biology are closely linked and gradients...

Abstract Coastal erosion is an increasingly dominant sediment source in marginal seas, particularly in low‐lying areas affected by deltaic subsidence and sediment deficits from upstream water management. However, its r...

Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) are increasingly used for landscape management on rewetted peatlands, where monitoring their behavior and welfare remains challenging due to large, water−rich and difficult−to-access g...

The scientific utility of Eugène Dubois’ Pithecanthropus erectus (P.e.) specimens and other paleontological finds from Trinil has been impaired for over a century by questions about provenience. Firsthand accounts and...

Abstract Quantifying luminescence signal resetting of sand grains in turbid waters is essential for both sediment dating and tracing, yet direct measurement under natural subaqueous conditions remain scarce. Here, we pre...

Seasonal variations in diversity and biomass of tintinnids (Ciliophora: Tintinnida) were investi- gated at two fixed stations in the inner part of the Bahía Blanca Estuary (38°42` S, 61° 50` W) during an annual cycle....

Climate change is creating serious challenges for fisheries in coastal Nigeria. Fisheries extension workers, who support fishers with advice and training, must themselves be resilient to continue delivering services. Thi...

Technological-based early warning systems (EWS) in rural Indonesia have shown limited long-term adoption because centralised, top-down mechanisms fail to incorporate the contextual triggers trusted by local communities, ...

From 2017 to 2019, an extensive sampling campaign was conducted in Belgian inland and coastal waters, aimed at providing paired data of optical and biogeochemical properties to support research into optical monitoring of...

Coastal zone is transitional area between land and sea. Under the impacts of climate change, coastal zone is threatened by stressors such as sea-level rise, intensified storm surges. It is a common trend in global coasta...

Understanding long-term dynamics of past socio-ecological systems is essential for their future management. The southern Atlantic Forest coast of Brazil with its biodiverse littoral zone and artisanal fishing communities...

Family farming systems are widespread in tropical cocoa production, supporting rural livelihoods while providing ecosystem services such as carbon storage and soil protection. However, farm structure and crop diversity a...

Beach-ridge systems are a common feature of prograding coastlines and they have been recognized as important archives of late Quaternary sea level. In this paper, the combination of Landsat images and shuttle radar topog...

The Macao national observation and research station for coastal ecological environment (Macao field station) played a critical role in advancing research on coastal ecological environments and climate change. Its primary...

ABSTRACT The present study evaluates and compares the phenology, pollination biology and breeding systems of Chamaecrista desvauxii (Collad.) Killip.and Clitoria laurifolia Poir. in a coastal plain degraded by sand minin...

As in countless other fields of human endeavor, small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) have the potential to benefit pinniped (Pinnipedia; e.g., Phocidae [seals], Otariidae [sea lions], and Odobenidae [walruses]) respons...

Salinity distribution is a critical determinant in the management of water resources and the protection of ecological integrity in coastal regions, drawing particular concerns in the context of increasing saltwater intru...
