Set of indices to assess dune development and dune restoration potential in beach-dune systems on Mediterranean developed coasts

Journal of Environmental Management, 2020
The purpose of this paper is to contribute with a tool to guide decision makers with some level of understanding of coastal dynamics as to the most appropriate management measures to adopt. A set of indices for assessing beach-dune systems and their potential for dune restoration are presented. The systems analysed are described using variables related

Beach and Dune Restoration

2021
This new edition - now with Nancy Jackson as a co-author - continues the themes of the first edition: the need to restore the biodiversity, ecosystem health, and ecosystem services provided by coastal landforms and habitats, especially in the light of climate change.

Dune slack restoration in Dutch mainland coastal dunes

Journal for Nature Conservation, 2008
Summary The 45,000 ha Dutch dunes are relatively well protected but they suffer from severe desiccation. During the last decade a lot of knowledge has been obtained about the steering processes of eco-hydrology in dunes resulting in well-founded schemes to restore wet dune slack communities.

Linking restoration ecology with coastal dune restoration

Geomorphology, 2013
Abstract 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 ...

Two decades of dune slack restoration in North Wales: diversity, community and habitat specialists [PDF]

Nordic Journal of Botany
Humid dunes slacks are a highly threatened habitat, listed as vulnerable in the EU habitat red list. Accelerated successional processes in dune systems have resulted in the loss and degradation of ideal conditions for specialist dune slack species, hence

Beach–dune sediment budgets and dune morphodynamics following coastal dune restoration, Wickaninnish Dunes, Canada

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2016
AbstractThe results from three years of surveying and monitoring a dynamic foredune and dunefield restoration effort on Vancouver Island, Canada is presented. Complete removal of foredune vegetation occurred in three phases spaced a year apart in an effort to control invasive Ammophila spp.

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.
