Abstract Sand dunes are considered one of the most obstacles that face the horizontal or vertical expansion of agriculture in the desert. Sand dunes are a collection of a loose grouping of sand on the land surface in the form of a pile with top. In the recent years, increasing attention has been taken to cultivate the timber trees and ornamental plants in a narrow range to combat the desertification, sand encroachment and sand dunes. The climate factors are characterized by high temperature, strong winds laden with sand and sandy dunes, lead to soil erosion and remove the fertility soil in the surface layer, and destroying cultivated lands. Therefore, it's important to planting windbreaks and stabilization sand dunes to reduce the damage and loss of all areas of development aspects. The methods used for combating the sand dunes can be classified into two types; biological methods or plant measure and the second are the mechanical methods or engineering measure. We will focus in this article on the biological methods where the trees, shrubs and grasses are planted.

  • Sand Dune Stabilization and Reclamation in Southeastern Colorado
    Sand Dune Stabilization And Reclamation In Southeastern Colorado Mike Scharp Parker Ag Services, LLC 4570 Kashmire Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80920 ABSTRACT This paper will discuss how and why Enviro-Gro Technologies (EGT) developed a large- scale sand dune reclamation program using New York City biosolids. The biosolids were applied during the winter of 1992 and 1993. The application site is located about 25 miles east of Lamar, CO and is comprised of 258 acres. Reclamation of the site resulted in its stabilization because vegitation was established on the site thus eliminating the encroachment into other areas. Based upon experience and negotiation with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPH&E) and the United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) an application rate of 30 dry tons per acre was permitted. In addition, 10 dry tons per acre of woodchips were co-applied. The intent was that the excess carbon would bind some of nitrogen on the site and thus limit the amount of nitrogen that would leach from the site. Although data indicates that alternative application rates of 10 and 20 dry tons per acre of biosolids were applied for demonstration purposes, little data exist regarding these parcels. Therefore, this paper will deal with the main part of the site where 30 dry tons per acre of biosolids was applied. BACKGROUND Enviro-Gro Technologies began April 22, 1992 applying New York City biosolids near Lamar, CO. Typically about 150 wet tons of biosolids were land applied on privately owned dry land winter wheat. The average application rate was of 2.0 dry tons per acre.

It presents general information about Asian food and in addition, one Vietnamese wine company is introduced as an example. In order to understand the customers’ behavior regarding Asian food and beverag- es, a quantitative research was conducted. The target group is citizens of Vaasa who are familiar with Asian food in restaurants. The first step is to discover their frequency and their favorite in different types of Asian restaurants presented in Vaasa. The second step is to see how their habits of drinking beverages in those restaurants. Finally, the research focused on how they are willing to taste the local beverages. To conclude, it was found out that Vaasa citizens are often eating Asian food in restaurants, but they are rarely drinking Asian beverages.

Our objective was to analyze the spatial patterns of arthropod assemblages along a gradient of different stabilization levels, which represents the different stages of dune stabilization - from the shifting crest of the dune to the stabilized crusted interdune. The study was carried out at the sand dunes of the northwestern Negev in Israel. Data was collected using dry pitfall traps over two consecutive years during the spring along northern windward aspects.
