Threats to sandy beach ecosystems: A review
Omar Defeo,Anton McLachlan,David S. Schoeman,Thomas A. Schlacher,Jenifer E. Dugan,Alan Jones,Mariano Lastra,Felicita Scapini +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a brief synopsis of the unique physical and ecological attributes of sandy beach ecosystems and review the main anthropogenic pressures acting on the world's single largest type of open shoreline.
Journal ArticleDOI

Callum M. Roberts,Sandy J. Andelman,George M. Branch,Rodrigo H. Bustamante,Juan Carlos Castilla,Jenifer E. Dugan,Benjamin S. Halpern,Kevin D. Lafferty,Heather M. Leslie,Jane Lubchenco,Deborah A. McArdle,Hugh P. Possingham,Mary Ruckelshaus,Robert R. Warner +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of criteria that allow preliminary evaluation of candidate sites according to their relative biological values in advance of the application of socioeconomic criteria is developed to promote the development of reserve networks that will maintain biodiversity and ecosystem functioning at large scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
The response of macrofauna communities and shorebirds to macrophyte wrack subsidies on exposed sandy beaches of southern California
TL;DR: The results suggest that macrophyte wrack subsidies strongly influence macrofaunal community structure, higher trophic levels, and ecological processes on exposed sandy beaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sandy beach ecosystems: key features, sampling issues, management challenges and climate change impacts
Thomas A. Schlacher,Dave S. Schoeman,Jenifer E. Dugan,Mariano Lastra,Alan Jones,Felicita Scapini,Anton McLachlan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarise the salient features of sandy beaches as functional ecosystems in 50 ‘key statements’; these provide a succinct synopsis of the main structural and functional characteristics of these highly dynamic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sandy beaches at the brink
Thomas A. Schlacher,Jenifer E. Dugan,Dave S. Schoeman,Mariano Lastra,Alan Jones,Felicita Scapini,Anton McLachlan,Omar Defeo +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a number of critical research directions that are required to progress coastal management and conservation of sandy beach ecosystems and identify a consolidated body of ecological theory for these ecosystems.
