Science - Botany / Posidonia oceanica
Italian term or phrase: Coccolone
Sistemi di protezione delle dune stabilizzate (generalmente colonizzate dalle boscaglie a ginepro fenicio e coccolone) costituite da bioreti in fibra vegetale il cui scopo è quello di proteggere i fianchi delle dune in cui siano evidenti gli effetti dei fenomeni di erosione eolica e scalzamento da calpestio. Inoltre questo sistema favorisce il deposito e l’accumulo della sabbia negli interstizi fra le canne e le maglie della biorete, consolidando il piede della duna e migliorando, nel tempo, le condizioni edafiche del substrato sabbioso in modo da consentire la ripresa della vegetazione sulle dune
