Sand dune stabilization in Central Somalia

Forest Ecology and Management, 1986
Abstract As part of a reforestation project in refugee impacted areas of Somalia, a sand dune stabilization pilot project was started in June, 1983, in the Hiiraan region of central Somalia. Thirty ha of the 5.6 km 2 of broken sands have been crosshatched with Commiphora (sp.) cuttings and then planted with trees.

Sand Dune Stabilization on Cape Cod

Economic Geography, 1943
L IKE many other states, Massachusetts is affected by wind _ erosion and sand dune formation in parts of its area. Massachusetts was perhaps the first state in this country to institute control methods period. As far back as 1714 and particularly in 1826, extensive reclamation of sand areas on the Province Land was attempted, for Provincetown, the ...

Coastal sand dune stabilization in the Pacific Northwest

International Journal of Biometeorology, 1977
Coastal dunes are stabilized in three stages: (1) The initial stage uses sand-stilling grasses established vegetatively. For this purpose, European beachgrass,Ammophila arenaria (L.) Link., is most used, followed by American beachgrass,A. breviligulata Fern., or American dunegrass,Elymus mollis Trin.

Effects of Sand Dune Stabilization on Plant Diversity of Interdune Lowlands in the Semi-Arid Sand Dune Fieds

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
Considering each interdune lowland as a self-contained unit, we investigated species composition of 15 interdune lowlands in stabilized and active dunes, respectively, and identified the relationship of species richness and lowland area. The results showed that 1) with the enlargement of lowland area, the overall species richness of interdune lowlands ...

Monitoring sand dune stabilization along the coastal dunes of Ashdod-Nizanim, Israel, 1945?1999

Journal of Arid Environments, 2004
Temporal changes in the stabilization process along the coastal dunes of Israel were assessed using a series of 23 aerial photographs taken over the period 1944-1999. The stabilization rate was then quantified using a specially developed method for the calculation of sand dune movement and by the calibration of the gray-scale images into vegetation ...

Sand Dune Stabilization Practices Implemented in Turkey

2001
Wind erosion is a detrimental problem in Turkey specially in the Southern Central Anatolia which is one of the driest zones of the country. Nearly 466 000 ha of land is subject to wind erosion varying from slight to excessive, and approximately 70 % (322 474 ha) of this area is within the boundaries of the Konya province, in Karapinar which is ...

Sand Dune Stabilization with Plants in China

2001
Sand deserts and sandy lands in northern China are situated in the temperate region between 35-40°N and 75-125°E. The area to the west of Helan Mountain Ranges belongs to the desert zone with annual precipitation below 150mm and sandy deserts makes up about 80% of the total area of sand deserts and sandy lands in northern China.

The Impact of Dune Stabilization on the Conservation Status of Sand Dune Systems in Wales

2013
Sand dunes in Wales are becoming increasingly stable, reducing their biodiversity value, particularly for obligate and near obligate dune species. A case study shows that in the 1950s, 75 % of one dune site consisted of mobile dunes and embryonic dune slacks with open vegetation, but by the 1990s only about 6 % of the site could be classed as mobile or

Development of a Technology for Sand Dune Stabilization in Northern Nigeria

2001
When a fragile ecosystem is exploited beyond its carrying capacity, the system breaks down. This is the problem of the arid and semiarid region of Nigeria, which constitutes about one-third of the (924,000 km2) entire land area. Indeed, nature has imposed physical and biological constraints on the area such as drought, low and variable rainfall, sparse
