Abstract. Sea-level rise, saltwater intrusion, and wave erosion threaten coastal marshes, but the influence of salinity on marsh erodibility remains poorly understood. We measured shear strength soils along a biodiversity gradient in York River estuary Virginia to assess direct indirect impacts potential erodibility. found that soil was higher monospecific salt marshes (5–36 kPa) than biodivers...

We assess the spatial and geomorphic fragmentation from the recent Eagle Ford Shale play in La Salle County, Texas, USA. Wells and pipelines were overlaid onto base maps of land cover, soil properties, vegetation assemblages, and hydrologic units. Changes to continuity of different ecoregions and supporting landscapes were assessed using the Landscape Fragmentation Tool (a third-party ArcGIS ex...

This work aims to verify the effects of natural structure a residual soil on its erodibility and potential, employing compaction, restore erosion resistance. It is gneiss that occurs in state Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil. Infrastructure earthworks expose this material action water, which can develop severe erosive features. The evaluation was made using MCT methodology based infiltrability m...

Desertification is currently a major concern, and vast regions have already been devastated in the arid zones of many countries. Combined application of cyanobacteria with soil fixing chemicals is a novel method of restoring desertified areas. Three cyanobacteria, Nostoc sp. Vaucher ex Bornet & Flahault, Phormidium sp. Kützing ex Gomont and Scytonema arcangeli Bornet ex Flahault were isolated a...
