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 ...

The importance of pilot studies and understanding microhabitat requirements when reintroducing endemic plants during coastal dune restoration [PDF]
Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2019 In coastal California dune ecosystems protect coastal cities from damaging storms and provide habitat for native wildlife. Despite the economic and ecological importance of coastal dunes, habitat loss has continued and is predicted to accelerate with a changing climate.

Constraints to native plant species establishment in coastal dune communities invaded by Carpobrotus edulis: Implications for restoration [PDF]
Biological Conservation, 2013 Carpobrotus edulis, an alien chamaephyte species from South Africa, severely invades and represents one of the greatest threats to coastal plant biodiversity in regions with Mediterranean climate worldwide. Although actions have been promoted to eliminate it, these efforts have failed to restore dunes to the natural, preinvasion stage.

False Rosemary, Conradina canescens
EDIS, 2018 False rosemary is found on the backsides of foredunes, on all sides of backdunes, and inland in scrub communities. False rosemary is killed by fires but will reseed to an area in the absence of further disturbance.

The colonization of active sand dunes by rhizomatous plants through vegetative propagation and its role in vegetation restoration [PDF]
Ecological Engineering, 2012 Abstract This study aims to elucidate vegetative propagation in Phragmites communis , and its role in colonizing active sand dunes. The experiment was conducted in the Horqin Sand Land in Inner Mongolia, northeastern China. Quadrats were established along twenty transects from the dune slack to the windward slope through the ecotone (a transitional ...
