Sand
Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided mineral particles. Sand has various compositions but is usually defined by its grain size. Sand grains are smaller than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass. The composition of sand varies, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastal settings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz. Calcium carbonate is the second most common type of sand. One such example of this is aragonite, which has been created over the past 500million years by various forms of life, such as coral and shellfish. It is the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years, as in the Caribbean. Somewhat more rarely, sand may be composed ...

Psammophile
A psammophile ( ) is a plant or animal that prefers or thrives in sandy areas. Plant psammophiles are also known as psammophytes. They thrive in places such as the Arabian Peninsula and the Sahara and also the dunes of coastal regions. Because of the unique ecological selective pressures of sand, often times animals on opposite sides of the planet can convergently evolve similar features, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as ecomorphological convergence. The '' Crotalus cerastes'' native to American deserts and the '' Bitis peringueyi'' native to Namibian deserts have independently evolved sidewinding behavior to traverse across sand. In addition, the African jerboa and the American kangaroo rat have separately evolved a bipedal form with large hind legs that allow them to hop. Etymology ''Psammo'' is from Ancient Greek ψάμμος (psámmos, “sand”); ''-philo'' is from Ancient Greek φίλος (phílos, “dear, beloved”) via Latin ''-phila''. Popular culture With ...

Arenaria (bird)
Turnstones are two bird species that constitute the genus ''Arenaria'' in the family (biology), family Scolopacidae. They are closely related to calidrid sandpipers and might be considered members of the tribe (biology), tribe Calidriini. The genus ''Arenaria'' was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760 with the ruddy turnstone (''Arenaria interpres'') as the type species. The genus name ''arenaria'' is from Latin ''arenarius'', "inhabiting sand", from ''arena'', "sand". The genus contains two species: the ruddy turnstone (''Arenaria interpres'') and the black turnstone (''Arenaria melanocephala''). Both birds are waders. Their length is typically between 20 and 25 cm, with a wingspan between 50 and 60 cm and a body mass between 110 and 130g. For waders their build is stocky, with short, slightly upturned, wedge shaped bills. They have white patches on the back, wings and tail. They are high Arctic breeders, and are bird migration, migrato ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arenaria (plant)
''Arenaria'' is a genus of flowering plants, within the family Caryophyllaceae. Most species are annual or perennial herbaceous plants, though a small number are spiny subshrubs; many grow in tufts or mats. Species of this genus are among those plants commonly known as sandworts. Several species formerly classified within ''Arenaria'' are now classed in the genera '' Spergularia'', '' Eremogone'' and '' Minuartia''. Species Species accepted by the Plants of the World Online as of September 2021: *'' Arenaria acaulis'' *'' Arenaria achalensis'' *'' Arenaria aggregata'' *'' Arenaria alfacarensis'' *'' Arenaria algarbiensis'' *'' Arenaria alpamarcae'' *'' Arenaria altorum'' *'' Arenaria andina'' *'' Arenaria angustifolia'' *'' Arenaria angustifolioides'' *'' Arenaria antitaurica'' *'' Arenaria aphanantha'' *'' Arenaria arcuatociliata'' *'' Arenaria armerina'' *'' Arenaria aucheriana'' *'' Arenaria balansae'' *'' Arenaria balearica'' *'' Arenaria benthamii'' *'' A ...

Phengaris Alcon Arenaria
The Dutch alcon blue (''Phengaris alcon arenaria'') was a subspecies of the alcon blue butterfly ('' Phengaris alcon''). There is not much known about this subspecies, but it has always been very rare. It was endemic to the Netherlands, where two populations were known. One in Meijendel (dunes north of The Hague The Hague ( ) is the capital city of the South Holland province of the Netherlands. With a population of over half a million, it is the third-largest city in the Netherlands. Situated on the west coast facing the North Sea, The Hague is the c ...), and in the Meije (in the neighbourhood of the Nieuwkoopse Plassen). The population in the Meije disappeared in 1975 and in Meijendel this subspecies disappeared in 1979.
