Linking restoration ecology with coastal dune restoration
Geomorphology, 2013Abstract Restoration and preservation of coastal dunes is urgently needed because of the increasingly rapid loss and degradation of these ecosystems because of many human activities. These activities alter natural processes and coastal dynamics, eliminate topographic variability, fragment, degrade or eliminate habitats, reduce diversity and threaten ...

Coastal Dunes: Human Impact and Need for Restoration
Springer Series on Environmental Management, 2013A large proportion of the world population lives at or near the coast, which results in high impact and degradation of coastal ecosystems, such as the beach and coastal dunes. These ecosystems are particularly threatened by the impact of human activities because of the increasing demand of sun and sand tourism throughout the world.

Restoration of Dune Vegetation in the Netherlands
2013The biodiversity of the open dune landscapes in the Netherlands is gradually declining due to less intensive use of the dunes, increased deposition of atmospheric nitrogen (5–10 fold increase between 1939 and 1981), and a growing need of drinking water for urban areas that led to desiccation of dune wetlands .

Restoration of Dune Mobility in The Netherlands
2013In western Europe, large and important coastal dune systems exist, consisting of complexes with parabolic dunes, transverse dunes, etc. In The Netherlands, as in other parts of Europe, dunes are in a phase of stabilization. Mobile dunes in these systems, however, are extremely rare.

This book analyzes the tradeoffs involved in restoring beaches and dunes on intensively developed coasts, the most effective approaches to use, and the ways to educate and involve stakeholders. It identifies restoration strategies that enhance natural processes and make coastal landforms more dynamic while maintaining their value for shore protection ...

Biological assessment of dune restoration in south Texas
Ocean & Coastal Management, 2018Abstract A dune restoration program was initiated by the City of South Padre Island, Texas in 2010 consisting primarily of plantings of Sea Oats, Uniola paniculata, and Bitter Panicum, Panicum amarum, and has continued annually thereafter. These restoration efforts were evaluated by comparing selected metrics of ecosystem structure and function among

An environmental approach to the restoration of badly eroded sand dunes
Biological Conservation, 1977Abstract On a coastline where the natural beach/dune system is essentially stable, the ability of the sand dunes to recover from degradation caused by human activities is seriously impaired, even when conventional remedial techniques are employed. This paper presents a short report on an experimental regrading scheme which has shown that the initial ...

Hydrogeology of a restored coastal dune system in northeastern Scotland
Journal of Coastal Conservation, 1997This paper reports the results of 12 years of hydrological monitoring at the St. Fergus dune system in northeastern Scotland. The site is adjacent to the UK’s largest gas terminal and the dunes are crossed in five places by North Sea gas pipelines which were constructed between 1976 and 1990.
