Sand nourishments in coastal systems: an Ecosystem-based approach (Literature research)


{{Project config}}Benthic communities are highly important for the
stability of coastal environment, for the ecosystem services they provide. This
project, through a literature research, aims at understanding the influence of
sand nourishments on benthic communities in different coastal systems and how
it translates to a lack vs. gain of ecosystem services. The student will
investigate the literature for studies on sand nourishment, their effect on
benthic communities and bio-physical interactions and to address their potential
effect on the ecosystem services provided by benthic communities in coastal
ecosystems.
