Coastal Dunes of South Africa
Author: Ken L. Tinley
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Beach erosion
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
A synthesis is presented on the ecology of South African coastal dune ecosystems. A detailed description of the extent, structure and functioning of these ecosystems is given. The conflict between the physical needs of urban development, and those of retaining the energy absorbing barrier function of the dune cordon, is analysed. Cf. "Abstract": p. v.

Plants of the Oregon Coastal Dunes
Author: Alfred M. Wiedemann
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Plants of the Oregon Coastal Dunes offers a useful, informative guide for visitors to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area or anyone spending time on the state's remarkable beaches. The standard reference on the Oregon dunes for thirty years, this handy guide identifies those plants most likely encountered and serves as a general introduction to the ecology of dune areas. The first two sections explain the natural history of dunes and describe plant communities associated with dunes and how they change over time. The final section provides an easy-to-use key to ninety common dune plants. Each species profile includes a photograph, a detailed description, and information on habitat and range.

Restoration of Coastal Dunes
Author: Luisa M Martínez
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642334458
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
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.
