The effects of experimental burial and erosion on the seagrass Zostera noltii were assessed
through in situ manipulation of the sediment level (− 2 cm, 0 cm,+ 2 cm,+ 4 cm,+ 8 cm and+ …

Multiple tidal inlet stability has been modeled following either a single-inlet stability
approach or a simple linear analytical approach, and the results suggest that these systems …

The economical and ecological importance of tidal inlets has fostered the development of
empirical tools for inlet management during the last century. This study aims at confronting …

Seagrass meadows, through their large capacity to sequester and store organic carbon in
their sediments, contribute to mitigate climatic change. However, these ecosystems have …

Details of the internal architecture and local geochronology of Plum Island, the longest
barrier in the Gulf of Maine, have refined our understanding of barrier island formation in …

This study investigates environmental assessment of artificial reef systems deployed at
different areas in terms of nutrient cycling and seabed organic enrichment. Two identical …
