In the coastal soils of southern Europe, scientists have discovered a supercolony of one species of ant, stretching 3,500 miles from Portugal to the Italian Riviera.

The framed pieces, protected by glass, had sunk into the moist coastal soil.

Her coloring provides adequate camouflage in coastal sandy soil, as well as the mangrove forests during the dry season when grasses and leaves turn pale yellow.

The remaining 20.31% is sandy, coastal and alluvium soil.

It grows in a wide range of soil types, including salty coastal soil, but is sensitive to heavy salt spray.

It lives in sandy coastal soils.

These are caused by the interface between the subducted sea floor stressing the overlaying coastal soils in compression.

Sea spray may contain up to 25% of solid materials, organic and inorganic, and contributes significant amounts of nitrate and organic debris to coastal soils.

Typically, the highest numbers of cultured bacteria are from relatively moist coastal soils, compared with the small bacteria communities of dry inland soils.
