Abstract

The Quiaios dune system was still active at the beginning of the century. In order to become stable, a pine-planting system was implemented. Nowadays, the discussion is centered around ways of stopping the spreading of forest fires, its new risk. The planting of hygrophilous deciduous trees is advised on the dune depressions.
