Process‐based morphodynamic models can be useful in understanding coastal dune
responses to disturbances, as well as possible evolutionary patterns. To this aim, we employ …

Coastal dunes evolve in direct response to primary drivers, such as wind and waves, which
can significantly influence the landscape. Here, we examine the effects of the wind and …

Vegetation on coastal dunes is a key element, as it promotes the growth and stabilization of
these landforms while contributing significantly to biodiversity. Physical (eg impact of …

Coastal sand barriers are dynamic features with complex depositional sequences holding
critical information regarding system response to disturbances at secular to millennial time …

Applying the ecological resilience principles to barrier island geomorphological evolution
requires approaches that perceive and interpret resilience far from predefined barrier …

Abstract The Cananéia-Iguape lagoon-estuarine system, where the Ilha Comprida barrier
(IC) is located, is one of the most dynamic coastal areas on the southeastern Brazilian coast …

Coastal dunes are complex landforms whose morphology results from various interactions
between biotic and abiotic factors. Here, we explore the longshore variability of the …

A morpho-sedimentary analysis based on grain size, texture, composition, luminescence
ages, and morphologic pattern was performed in a beach ridge system located on the …

The presence of humans and their activities are intensifying in coastal ecosystems leading
to disturbance of wildlife and strong habitat modifications. Colonial seabirds that breed in …

Coastal dunes result from complex interactions between sand transport, topography and
vegetation. However, uncertainty still persists due to limited quantitative analyses …
