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 ...

Restoration of coastal dune slacks in the Netherlands [PDF]
Hydrobiologia, 2002 In order to stop the continuous decline of typical dune slack communities along the Dutch coast, restoration projects have been carried out since 1952. Restoration measures consisted of re-introducing traditional management techniques in dune slacks, such as mowing, grazing and sod removal, or constructing artificial dune slacks to compensate for lost ...

The effectiveness of elevated boardwalks in restoring coastal dunes
Journal of Environmental Management, 2023 Coastal dunes are important habitats that also play an important role in coastal protection. In areas of high tourist activity, they have often been degraded by trampling and intensive use, resulting in a loss of ecological, aesthetic and protective values. As a result, several management actions have been taken to minimise dune degradation and enhance
