Coastal dunes: sensitive or not?

Landscape and Urban Planning, 1996
Abstract This paper introduces a classification of coastal dune systems into two main morphodynamic classes, namely retentive and transgressive dune systems. Retentive systems include coastal dune types where sand accumulation within vegetation is dominant over other processes.

Management of Mediterranean coastal dunes

Ocean & Coastal Management, 1996
Abstract This paper gives some theoretical concepts of dune management as well as practical examples of how actual measures should be carried out. Dune management is defined as all measures aimed at the preservation and restoration of the natural values of a coastal sand dune area.

Coastal Dune Habitats

2016
Coastal dunes occur along the majority of coastlines worldwide, often as parts of barrier islands, and are one of the most dynamic areas on earth. Sufficient supply of sand and strong onshore winds create a dynamic topography of building dunes near the shoreline and often a system of older dunes and troughs further inland.

Coastal Dune Hazards

2012
Coastal dunes constitute plastic systems with a recognized ecological, geomorphological, geological, historical, archaeological, scenic, cultural, and socio-economic value. Furthermore, coastal dunes play a relevant protective barrier role, preventing groundwater salinization due to intrusion of sea water and preserving other natural areas and human ...

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.
