On a sand dune at Capbreton (Landes - France): a recent planting of beach grasses (Ammophila arenaria) plus using of a mechanical fixation technique by branches, in order to help keep the sand in place. Used for the stabilization of movable sand dunes, beach grasses can achieve their purpose by means of their rhizomes, their runners and their vertical adventitious roots which grow deeply in the sand in search of the least humidity (sometimes down to feet). Récente plantation d'oyats (Ammophila arenaria) plus rangées de branchages afin de garder le sable en place sur une dune, à Capbreton (Landes - France). Utilisés pour la stabilisation de dunes mobiles, les oyats atteignent leur but gràce à leurs rhizomes; leurs stolons et leurs racines adventices qui descendent profondément dans le sable à la recherche de la moindre trace d'humidité (parfois jusqu'à dix mètres).
