“…Compared to studies that document beach and dune erosion during storms, the rates and mechanisms of post-storm dune recovery have received relatively little attention in the literature -with notable exception for Olson (1958) (2013), Wolner et al (2013), and Lucas and Carter (2013). The majority of studies focus on erosion of the beach and dune, and the immediate recovery of the nearshore and beach profile following storms (Zeigler et al, 1959;Warnke et al, 1966;Katuna, 1991;Sexton and Hayes, 1991).…”

“…Ammophila arenaria and Leymus arenarius prefer dry and low-nutritious sandy soils, and tolerate saline sandy soils. Together with the Gypsophila paniculata and Lathyrus maritimus they form coastal sand dunes and stabilize sand drifting (Fontana 2005;Hilton, Konlechner 2011;Lucas, Carter 2013). Plants with their powerful root system make matts of various densities, well reinforcing the PBD and in this way reducing the sand transfer (Stankevičiūtė 2006;Olšauskas, Urbonienė 2009 …”

“…On its northerly path, the eye of the storm passed 50-150 km due west of the islands, subjecting them to hurricane-force winds and storm tidal depths which decreased eastward from 7 to 9 m on Cat and Ship, respectively [1], and up to 12 m on W. Ship [2], to 3.5 m on western and central Dauphin [1]. Island geomorphic features were substantially altered by erosion and sand overwash [2][3][4][5][6][7], while vegetation was further affected by wind damage, salt spray, saltwater flooding and a post-storm drought of several months [6,7]. Also prior to the 2010-2011 field survey, the Gulf shorelines of Ship, Horn and Petit Bois Islands were eroded in Hurricane Gustav on 1 September 2008 [8].…”
