Restoration of Dune Mobility in The Netherlands

2013
In 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.

Restoration of Dune Vegetation in the Netherlands

2013
The 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 .

Coastal Dunes: Human Impact and Need for Restoration

2013
A 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.

Response of Terrestrial Arthropod Assemblages to Coastal Dune Restoration

Ecological Restoration, 2012
To restore historical dune vegetation, substantial effort has been made to remove the invasive plant species, European beach grass ( Ammophila arenaria ), from coastal dunes of California, USA. However, little effort has been made to examine the response of terrestrial arthropod assemblages to coastal dune restoration. We sampled terrestrial arthropods

Dune Restoration Over Two Decades at the Lanphere and Ma-le’l Dunes in Northern California

2013
Coastal dune restoration on the west coast of North America has focused on the removal of invasive plants that reduce biodiversity and/or alter ecosystem processes. Manual removal (digging) of Ammophila arenaria and other non-native plants was carried out from 1992 to 1998 at the Lanphere Dunes, and from 2005 to 2010 at the Ma-le’l Dunes, both ...

The daring Dutch: restoring the dynamic dunes

2014
For centuries, the most important role of the coastal dunes of the Netherlands has been to protect the low-lying Holland from the sea.And now, against all tradition, five gigantic 100-150 metres wide holes have been dug to once again give the wind free rein and allow thedunes to drift. By also setting five dune complexes further inland free on the wind,

Environmental Problems and Restoration Measures in Coastal Dunes in the Netherlands

2008
The more than 350-km-long coastal dune zone forms one of the last large semi-natural areas in The Netherlands and is home to some 70 % of the plant species occurring in this country, of which many are almost exclusive. The vegetation consists to a large part of open, species-rich dune grasslands belonging to the plant communities Phleo-Tortuletum ...
