Impacts of off-road vehicles (ORVs) on macrobenthic assemblages on sandy beaches.
Sandy beaches are the prime sites for human recreation and underpin many coastal economies and developments. In many coastal areas worldwide, beach recreation relies on the use of off-road vehicles (ORVs) driven on the shore. Yet, the use of ORVs is not universally embraced due to social conflicts with other beach user groups and putative environmental consequences of vehicle traffic on sandy s...
متن کاملAssessing climate change impacts on open sandy coasts: A review
Article history: Received 2 April 2016 Received in revised form 21 July 2016 Accepted 25 July 2016 Available online 1 August 2016 The world's coastlines are shaped by mean sea level, wave conditions, storm surge, and riverflows. Climate change (CC) driven variations in these environmental forcings will inevitably have a profound effect on the coastal zone. Given the continued growth of coastal ...

متن کاملVertical distribution of meiofauna on reflective sandy beaches
Extreme physical conditions usually limit the meiofauna occurrence and distribution in highly hydrodynamic environments such as reflective beaches. Despite sediment grains of the upper layers being constantly resuspended and deposited, the high energy of the swash zone besides depositing coarse sediments allows an ample vertical distribution of meiofaunal organisms. The effect of physical, chem...
