Abstract
Straw checkerboard is a sand dune fixation technique. This study was conducted on the experiments for restoring coastal vegetation by using straw checkerboard to control wind erosion. Straw checkerboard prevented wind erosion, and trapped shifting sand to an elevation of half itself. It also provided N-N03- into soil, because the straw was resolved in soil. Then it was supposed that seedlings of Carex Kobomugi Ohwi grew up well by using the N-N03-. Moreover coastal vegetation invaded bare land in speed of 1-2 m in one year, when we controlled wind erosion by using straw checkerboard. As a result, it was considered that straw checkerboard was effective for restoring coastal vegetation on wind erosion area.
