Restoration of eroded coastal sand dunes using plant and soil-conditioner mixture

International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2016
Abstract In this study, we evaluated the ability of a soil-conditioner mixture to reduce soil erosion of coastal sand dunes. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Bacillus sp. SH1RP8 was isolated from indigenous plants normally found in coastal sand dunes.

Can ecological restoration improve soil properties and plant growth in valley-slope sand dunes on southern Tibetan Plateau?

Physical Geography, 2020
Global warming poses a serious threat to the alpine grassland on the Tibetan Plateau. Ecological restoration is an effective measure for adapting to climate change and controlling desertification.

Fertilization and plant diversity accelerate primary succession and restoration of dune communities

Plant Ecology, 2013
Plant species richness can increase primary production because plants occupy different niches or facilitate each other (“complementarity effects”) or because diverse mixtures have a greater chance of having more productive species (“selection effects”). To determine how complementarity and selection influence dune restoration, we established four types

Grazing of Panicum amarum in a Louisiana barrier island dune plant community: Management implications for dune restoration projects

Ocean & Coastal Management, 1994
Abstract Panicum amarum (bitter panicum), an economically important dune grass used in dune building and stabilization projects throughout the southeastern United States, was planted in protected (exclosed) and unprotected (unexclosed) plots to assess the importance of vertebrate herbivory on P.

Early development of vegetation in restored dune plant microhabitats on a nourished beach at Ocean City, New Jersey

Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2001
Topography and vegetation of restored dunes on a developed barrier island were examined after a large-scale beach nourishment project. Restoration began in 1993 using sand-trapping fences andAmmophila breviligulata Fern. plantings. Subsequent growth of dunes was favored by installing new fences and suspending beach raking to accommodate nesting birds ...

Native soil microbial amendments generate trade‐offs in plant productivity, diversity, and soil stability in coastal dune restorations

Restoration Ecology, 2019
Given the important role that soil microbes play in structuring plant communities and mediating ecosystem functions, there is growing interest in harnessing microbial communities to restore degraded ecosystems. Dune restorations, in particular, may benefit from native soil amendments because microbial diversity and abundance are very low in unvegetated
