Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stabilizing Sand Dunes on the Pacific Coast With Woody Plants Figure l. - Stabilized coastal sand dunes are used for recreation, provided pre caution is taken to preserve the permanent cover from damage.of extensive areas of eroding dunes on the north Pacific coast. They pointed out that trees and shrubs were essential to erosion control on some sites, while on others the choice between herbaceous and woody perennials for permanent stabilization depended on the use of the area. The land capability and the economic and social considerations determine the use of the stabilized area. Most of the dune areas on the Pacific coast of North America are in land-capability classes VII and VIII. 2 Such lands have severe limitation for use because of the erosion hazard, low fertility, or low water-supply capacity. Small areas of class VI land with slightly less erosion hazard and of excessively wet class V land are interspersed with the class VII and VIII land of the dunes. Small areas of class III and IV land occur on some coastal dunes. These may be used for cultivated crops or pasture, but they require large amounts of fertilizer and supplemental irrigation. If cultivated crops are grown, extreme precautions must be taken to prevent wind erosion. The same conditions that preclude the use of stabilized dunes for cultivated crops or pasture also limit their use for the production of major forest products such as lumber, poles, or pulpwood. Minor forest products such as Christmas trees, charcoal, and florist greenery are possible with intensive culture when areas are near markets. The use of coastal dunes for recreation is consistent with both their land capability and their location. Large centers of population are usually located near the coast, and improved highways make them readily accessible to vacationers. Recreational use of coastal dune areas is enhanced by the proper use of trees and shrubs for permanent stabilization (fig. Precautions must be taken to preserve the permanent cover from damages by overuse, careless use, and fire.

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.

Book Synopsis Controlling Coastal Sand Dunes in the Pacific Northwest (Classic Reprint) by : Willard Thomas McLaughlin

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Controlling Coastal Sand Dunes in the Pacific Northwest Six years ago the advancing sand dunes on the Clatsop Plains of Oregon, at the mouth of the Columbia River, were menacing forts, military reservations, 'roads, and private property valued at Worse, they were also threatening to impede the flow of nearly of ocean - going commerce moving in and out of the entrance to the Columbia River, which lay directly in the path of the oncoming dunes. Today the sand movement on the Clatsop Plains has been arrested, and what was once a dangerous expanse of wind blown sand 20 miles long and at places miles wide has been transformed into a mantle of planted grass. In wartime this work is especially vital, much more important than the money values that were protected by this 6 - year job of the Soil Conservation Service. Similar conditions are found at the mouths of other navigable rivers on the Pacific coast and on other coastal areas. The methods and techniques of dune control de scribed in this publication, as applied to the Pacific North west coast, can be adopted as well to other threatened points.

Book Synopsis Life Traces of the Georgia Coast by : Anthony J. Martin
Download or read book Life Traces of the Georgia Coast written by Anthony J. Martin and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what left behind those prints and tracks on the seashore, or what made those marks or dug those holes in the dunes? Life Traces of the Georgia Coast is an up-close look at these traces of life and the animals and plants that made them. It tells about how the tracemakers lived and how they interacted with their environments. This is a book about ichnology (the study of such traces) and a wonderful way to learn about the behavior of organisms, living and long extinct. Life Traces presents an overview of the traces left by modern animals and plants in this biologically rich region; shows how life traces relate to the environments, natural history, and behaviors of their tracemakers; and applies that knowledge toward a better understanding of the fossilized traces that ancient life left in the geologic record. Augmented by illustrations of traces made by both ancient and modern organisms, the book shows how ancient trace fossils directly relate to modern traces and tracemakers, among them, insects, grasses, crabs, shorebirds, alligators, and sea turtles. The result is an aesthetically appealing and scientifically grounded book that will serve as source both for scientists and for anyone interested in the natural history of the Georgia coast.
