Soil and vegetation conditions changes following the different sand dune restoration measures on the Zoige Plateau. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
Alpine sand dunes restoration is extremely difficult but important in the ecosystem restoration. Sand dunes are known as harsh soil and poor seed bank which freed from advantages on plants growth naturally.

Can Vegetation Removal Successfully Restore Coastal Dune Biodiversity? [PDF]

Applied Sciences, 2020
Coastal dune habitats have been declining globally over the last several decades due to rapid urbanization. Within remaining dune systems, dune fixation has resulted in further losses of mobile dunes with negative impacts on their associated species ...

Coastal Dune Restoration: A Checklist Approach to Site Selection

Land
Coastal dune systems around the world have been severely degraded by human activities, especially in the last century. This has resulted in severe structural and functional damage to these dynamic yet fragile transitional ecosystems and a net loss of ...

Growth-survival trade-offs and the restoration of non-forested open ecosystems

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
The growth-survival trade-off has been extensively documented for phanerophyte species, whereas there is little evidence for non-phanerophyte species. However, information on the growth-survival trade-offs in non-phanerophyte species could be of great ...
