Accommodation space indicates dune development potential along an urbanized and frequently nourished coastline [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2019 With densely populated areas well below mean sea level, the Netherlands relies heavily on its dunes to ensure coastal safety. About half of the sandy coastline, however, is subject to structural marine erosion and requires frequent sand nourishment as a ...

Aeolianite and barrier dune construction spanning the last two glacial-interglacial cycles from the southern Cape coast, South Africa [PDF]
, 2004 The southern Cape region of South Africa has extensive coastal aeolianites and barrier dunes. Whilst previously reported, limited knowledge of their age has precluded an understanding of their relationship with the climatic and sea-level fluctuations ...

Seacoast Marshelder, Iva imbricata
EDIS, 2018 Seacoast marshelder is an important plant for dune restoration, stabilization, and formation because of its ability to trap sand. It grows on foredunes and forms low, rounded dunes as sand accumulates (Craig 1991).

Biomorphogenic Feedbacks and the Spatial Organization of a Dominant Grass Steer Dune Development
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Nature-based solutions to mitigate the impact of future climate change depend on restoring biological diversity and natural processes. Coastal foredunes represent the most important natural flood barriers along coastlines worldwide, but their area has ...

Modelling formation and evolution of transverse dune fields
, 2006 We model formation and evolution of transverse dune fields. In the model, only the cross section of the dune is simulated. The only physical variable of relevance is the dune height, from which the dune width and velocity are determined, as well as ...

Coastal sand dune vegetation of Velika plaža (Montenegro)
Acta botanica Croatica, 2020 Velika plaža (Ulcinj, Montenegro) is the largest sandy beach along the coast of the eastern Adriatic that still has well-developed sand-dune vegetation. Although the characterization of the flora and vegetation of Velika plaža has been addressed by many authors, knowledge on its vegetation remained poor.
