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.

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2012 Abstract Exogenous application of plant growth regulators (PGRs) may be an effective technique for increasing the rooting ability and the growth of vegetative fragments (cuttings) of plants used in dune restoration programs. Various concentrations (0, 50 and 100 mg l −1 ) of two auxins, alpha-naphtaleneacetic acid (NAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA)

Gulf Bluestem, Maritime Bluestem, Schizachyrium maritimum
EDIS, 2018 Gulf bluestem occurs throughout the Florida Panhandle and in neighboring coastal states. Gulf bluestem helps stabilize dunes, forms thick stands in areas leeward of slopes (Craig 1991), replaces sea oats as the dominant species on protected foredunes ...

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 ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Coastal dune restoration projects are increasingly seen as a means of protecting the coast against storms, especially with the use of natural (plants), artificial (geotextile tube cores) and hybrid (plants and geotextile tube) elements.

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.

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 ...

Coastal Groundcherry, Physalis angustifolia
EDIS, 2018 Coastal groundcherry occurs on beach dunes, coastal grasslands, coastal scrub, and disturbed areas. This plant is found throughout coastal counties on the west coast of Florida—except for the Big Bend region and the extreme southeasternmost counties—and
