Geomorphological changes of natural and engineered vegetated foredunes since completion of Kustwerk Katwijk [PDF]

Scientific Reports
For centuries, vegetation has been utilized to enhance dune stability and provide coastal protection. Marram grass (Calamagrostis arenaria) is the most commonly transplanted species on engineered coastal dunes in the Netherlands.
