Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Establishing and maintaining permanent vegetation has proved to be the most effective and efficient means of stabilizing coastal sand dunes. The dune areas on the Pacific coast of North America are the result of accelerated erosion caused primarily by the destruction of a cover of native vegetation. In some areas the climax cover was herbaceous, in others it was woody, and in still others it was a combination of herbaceous and woody plants. The choice of plants for the reconstruction of a permanent cover depends on the inherent limitations of the site and the intended land use for the area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first comprehensive report on dune building and stabilization in the United States. The practical information on methods and dune plants is the result of more than 20 years of experimentation in coastal areas from the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon through southern California and the Gulf of Mexico to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The use of fences and vegetation for dune creation is discussed, and the labor and material requirements for dune creation and sand stabilization projects are summarized. The major plants suitable for dune building, their propagation and planting requirements, and the stabilization of dunes by various means such as matting, fences, and vegetation, are given for the major coastal regions of the contiguous United States."--Abstract.

Download or read book Plant Guide for U.S. Coastal Restoration and Protection written by Viktor Nikitin and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many native coastal plant species play a major role in the formation of sand dunes and also protect shoreline areas from erosion. These plants often produce foliage and deep root systems that assist in the formation of a sand dune over time. The foliage of these species reduces wind velocity and filters sand from the wind, and their deep root systems help to anchor dunes to their foundation. The end result is a dense mat of vegetation which anchors the dune below its surface and traps more windblown sand. This book explores and discusses the selection and use of plants for coastal stabilization and habitat restoration; a description of the plants, their areas of occurrence, commercial availability, and special propagation or planting needs and information on coastal ecology and revegetation

Download or read book Planting Density Effects on the Growth of Dune Grasses written by Audrey Serena Kirschner and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal dune vegetation plays a key role in dune formation and stabilization through sediment trapping and erosion control. To restore degraded dunes, revegetation of dune building species is critical. Planting density has been found to effect growth of marsh species, with closer plantings alleviating stress through facilitation. As coastal dunes are high stress environments, it is expected that dune species may also exhibit facilitative interactions based on the Stress Gradient Hypothesis. Therefore, planting grasses in clumped configurations may lead to more successful dune revegetation. The objective of this research was to determine how planting density affects the growth of two dominant dune grasses along the US Atlantic coast, Ammophila breviligulata and Uniola paniculata, through field surveys of natural distribution, density, and a manipulation study of planting densities. Natural distribution differed between the two species with A. breviligulata occurring at lower dunes and U. paniculata occurring at higher dunes. Ammophila breviligulata occurred more densely than U. paniculata. Planting density of U. paniculata had an effect on growth parameters (shoot length, stem number, and ramet number) but not survival with dispersed plantings (50 cm apart) having higher growth than clumped plantings. The effect of density planting on growth parameters may impact dune building processes. Sparsely planted U. paniculata may have greater sediment capture compared to densely planted U. paniculata due to greater stem number and biomass resulting in taller, steeper dunes.

Download or read book Restoration of Coastal Dunes written by Luisa M Martínez and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuously growing human population along the world’s coasts will exacerbate the impact of human activities on all coastal environments. Restoration activities will therefore become increasingly important. In particular, sandy shores and coastal dunes will require significant restoration efforts because they are preferred sites for human settlement, industrial and urban development and tourism. With this book experts in the field present a comprehensive review of restoration studies and activities, where ‘successful’ and ‘failed’ studies or approaches from around the world are contrasted and compared. A major asset the book provides is a compendium of studies showing that coastal dune restoration has many definitions and thus leads to many different actions. This volume addresses those with an interest in conservation ecology and biology, coastal dune dynamics and geomorphology, and coastal management who are seeking information on the different strategies for coastal dune restoration applied in different regions of the world. Finally, it will be a valuable resource for coastal scientists and planners, as well as for local and state officials, residents of coastal communities, environmental advocates and developers.
