Figr* 15.—Diagram showing Seven Stages (a-g) in the Creation of a New Littoral Dune Fences set up Dune formed Extension of planting First planking of psarnma Fences buried New fences Set up Fences buried At a two brushwood fences are erected a metres apart in early spring. They are sanded over in a iew weeks (b), and a second tier of fences is placed above them (c). By the end of the summer (d) these also are sanded over.

By the end of the second year the dune slopes should have assumed their permanent profiles (g). The arrow points from the shore. The width planted in G from the foot of the windward slope to the foot of the lee talus is 38 metres. (From F. Solger in Dunenbuch.) STAGES IN A LITTORAL DUNE
