Soil and vegetation conditions changes following the different sand dune restoration measures on the Zoige Plateau.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Alpine sand dunes restoration is extremely difficult but important in the ecosystem restoration. Sand dunes are known as harsh soil and poor seed bank which freed from advantages on plants growth naturally.

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs.

Effects of grazing on the relationship between dominant shrubs and understory vegetation along sand dune stability gradient. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS One
During the process of dune vegetation restoration, understanding how grazing disturbance affects the relationship between plant species is a critical issue in ecological studies.

Gulf Bluestem, Maritime Bluestem, Schizachyrium maritimum

open access: yesEDIS, 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 ...

Rodents and reptiles as bioindicators for assessing coastal dune restoration success following invasive acacia removal

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, 2023
Although there is adequate knowledge on restoring many invaded habitats, information regarding faunal recovery is still lacking, particularly regarding sandy coastal ecosystems.

Growth-survival trade-offs and the restoration of non-forested open ecosystems

open access: yesGlobal 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 ...

False Rosemary, Conradina canescens

open access: yesEDIS, 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.

Florida Rosemary, Ceratiola ericoides

open access: yesEDIS, 2018
Florida rosemary is important in maintaining back dune structures and is found inland in scrub communities. This plant is found throughout scrub plant communities in Florida, and more broadly is found west to Mississippi and east to South Carolina in ...
