Sediment Characteristics and Intertidal Beach Slopes along the Jiangsu Coast, China by Yu Kuai, Jianfeng Tao, Zaiyang Zhou, Stefan Aarninkhof, Zheng Bing Wang

“…The beach slope of the north coast shows a southward flattening trend, apart from some outliers related to rocky parts of the coastline. We found alternating very fine and coarse sediment (depending on the local clay content) for different locations along the north coast, which can be explained from consolidation and armoring-induced erosion resistance. …”

Artificial reefs geographical location matters more than shape, age and depth for sessile invertebrate colonization in the Gulf of Lion (NorthWestern Mediterranean Sea) by Blouet, Sylvain, Bramanti, Lorenzo, Guizien, Katell

“…We recorded the presence of five sessile invertebrates species, with contrasting life-history traits and regional distribution in the natural rocky habitat, on ARs with different shapes deployed during two immersion time periods (1985 and the 2000s) and in two depth ranges (<20m and >20m). …”

Assessment of coffee-based agroforestry system performance by provinces in the Central Highlands of Vietnam by p Hoi, N Manh, T Vien

“…Given the fact that large percentage of land in the tropics is too dry, too steep, or too rocky to be classified as arable land which has been further problematic through increasing exposure to erosion resulting from unsustainable farming practices, often driven by intensive monocultures, efforts to promote agroforestry in Vietnam in particular and the tropics in general is thus needed, not only for surviving increasing population but also recovering and protecting the environment. …”

The importance of coastal geomorphological setting as a controlling factor on microtextural signatures of the 2010 Maule (Chile) tsunami deposit by P.J.M. Costa, D. Rasteiro da Silva, L. Figueirinhas, J. Lario

“…For example, in Arauco the abundance of dissolution textures decreases rapidly towards the center of the embayment and increases towards the rocky headlands of its westernmost sector. By contrast, an increase of mechanical marks (e.g. fresh surfaces) is observed in the central region of the Arauco’s embayment. …”
