Mechanism of Sand Movement on Coastal Dunes

Journal of the Waterways and Harbors Division, 1966
Sand supplied to a coast by streams, cliff erosion, and other sources generally is moved in one direction along the shoreline as littoral drift under the action of the prevailing wave conditions in the area. When this drift encounters a partial obstruction, such as a prominent natural headland or a major engineering structure, a condition is realized ...

Nitrogen transformation in coastal sands and dune soils

Journal of Arid Environments, 1984
Nitrification, N-leaching and NO 3 − -N reduction were studied in coastal sands and dune soils. Surprisingly high rates of nitrification were found when immature dune sands (that is uncolonized sands; and those from below Ammophila and H. rhamnoides ) were incubated at 25 °C with (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 ; with rates of NO 3 − -N production eventually ...

Coastal sand dune stabilization in the Pacific Northwest

International Journal of Biometeorology, 1977
Coastal dunes are stabilized in three stages: (1) The initial stage uses sand-stilling grasses established vegetatively. For this purpose, European beachgrass,Ammophila arenaria (L.) Link., is most used, followed by American beachgrass,A. breviligulata Fern., or American dunegrass,Elymus mollis Trin.

Infilling of Swamplands Behind Coastal Sand Dunes to Mitigate Coastal Disasters

2018
Japanese black pines in the coastal forests of Kujukuri and Futtsu-Misaki in the Chiba Prefecture have often withered under water-logged conditions due to impediment of gas exchange through tree roots. Such damp subsoil conditions could influence root development of planted seedlings.

Coastal sand dunes : a review of management strategies for dune stabilization

The primary objective of this technical note is to provide a US-centric review on historic and current management approaches for dune stabilization efforts. This includes methods for promoting dune formation via natural aeolian processes, as well as more hands-on management approaches, including hybrid dune construction.

Endophytic Fungal Diversity Associated with the Roots of Coastal Sand-dune Plants in the Sindu-ri Coastal Sand Dune, Korea

Korean Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2013
The coastal sand-dune plants of eight species; Argusia sibirica, Calystegia soldanella, Elymus mollis, Lithospermum zollingeri, Raphanus sativus, Salsola collina, Zoysia macrostachya, and Zoysia sinica were collected from the Shindu-ri coastal sand dune.

Coastal Sand Dunes: A Potential Goldmine of Bioresources

2015
Coastal sand dunes are nutrient deficient and experience severe stresses. Yet, sand dune plants or psammophytes adapt to the prevailing stress conditions and are able to proliferate in these dunes. Plant communities in sand dunes are controlled by the interaction between biotic and physicochemical components of the sand matrix.
