While decision-making can benefit from considering positive and negative outcomes of
change, over the past half-century, research on non-native species has focused …

Although evolution has been often seen as a gradual process through a Darwinian lens, far
more rapid evolutionary change has been observed in recent times. Recent examples …

Coastal dunes are often the first and only line of physical defense for communities subjected
to damaging storms and waves. Planting vegetation on them has been proposed as one …

A broadly accepted paradigm is that vegetation reduces coastal dune erosion. However, we
show that during an extreme storm event, vegetation surprisingly accelerates erosion. In 104 …

Since the 1970s there has been a considerable expansion in biogeomorphological research
which considers the complex, two-way relationships between biological, ecological and …

Background The combination of rising sea levels and increased likelihood of extreme storm
events poses a major threat to our coastlines and as a result, many ecosystems recognized …

The controls that affect the degree of spatio-temporal change to foredunes following
scar** are reviewed herein. As sea-levels rises and climate changes, dune scar** will …

Pollution associated to marine plastic litter is raising increasing concerns due to its potential
harmful effects on human health, biota, and coastal ecosystems. However, limited …

Abstract Background and Aims Coastal protection from erosion and flooding is a significant
ecosystem service provided by vegetated marine systems. Kelp beds are a dominant habitat …

A large, low pressure Nor'easter storm and Hurricane Joaquin contributed to multiple weeks
of sustained, elevated wave and water level conditions along the southeastern Atlantic coast …
