Dune slack restoration in Dutch mainland coastal dunes

Journal for Nature Conservation, 2008
Summary The 45,000 ha Dutch dunes are relatively well protected but they suffer from severe desiccation. During the last decade a lot of knowledge has been obtained about the steering processes of eco-hydrology in dunes resulting in well-founded schemes to restore wet dune slack communities.

Ecology of coastal dune fauna

Journal of Arid Environments, 1991
The distinguishing feature of coastal dunes is their connection to the shore. This maritime influence results in most coastal dunefields exhibiting a marked shore-normal gradient of decreasing physical stress and increasing complexity and vegetation cover landwards.

Coastal dunes with resistant cores

Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2018
Hybrid shore protection projects combine hard structures with beaches, sand dunes and vegetation, mimicking the appearance and function of natural landforms. These advantages can also accrue to structures built as primary protection that eventually become covered by sand following natural accretion, artificial nourishment or burial by earth-moving ...

The evolution of coastal sand dunes

Scottish Geographical Magazine, 1972
Abstract : Approximately 20 per cent of the coastline of the Highlands (Land lying West and North of the Highland Boundary Fault) excluding islands, is fringed by sand accumulations in the form of dunes, links or machair. Except where sea walls and promenades protect their seaward edge, dunes are intimately linked to beaches, the margin between dune ...

Coastal Dune Vulnerability Assessment of Caota dunes, Taiwan

A total of 52 variables, organized into six groups, were assessed and categorized into a locally adapted coastal dune vulnerability index. This study took into consideration socio-ecological aspects and incorporated local factors into the vulnerability index, along with adaptation strategies.

The Biology of Coastal Sand Dunes

2009
Coastal zones are becoming increasingly topical (and politically sensitive) as they face relentless pressures from urban expansion, recreational development and sea level rise due to climate change. This timely book provides a comprehensive introduction to the formation, dynamics, maintenance and perpetuation of coastal sand dune systems.
