Characterization of wind-blown sediment transport with height in a highly mobile dune (SW Spain) [PDF]
, 2015 The Valdevaqueros dune is located at one of the windiest points of Europe, where the frequent occurrence of strong easterly winds has generated a highly mobile dune.

Management of coastal dunes on the Catalan and on the Valencian shorelines (Spain)
Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2022 Coastal areas constitute one of the most difficult domains to manage, due to the several human activities and natural processes concentrated in it. The case of the coastal dunes is special, since they are so fragile and any intervention on them can cause

The use of chronosequences in studies of ecological succession and soil development [PDF]
, 2010 1. Chronosequences and associated space-for-time substitutions are an important and often necessary tool for studying temporal dynamics of plant communities and soil development across multiple time-scales.

Coastal sand dune restoration with an eco-friendly technique [PDF]
Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management, 2020 Dune restoration projects that integrate vegetation efforts with natural, sustainable, and soft solutions have become increasingly popular in coastal communities. Eco-restored dunes have high aesthetic value and are likely to be more resilient to near-surface wind effects and/or minor storms events.

Look before planting: using smokewater as an inventory tool to predict the soil seed bank and inform ecological management and restoration [PDF]
, 2011 This study tested the efficacy of smokewater to determine the potential germination from soil seed bank in three management sites of the same National Park: a forest site prior to restoration, an ex-pine plantation site and an ex-mine site.

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
