Abstract
The terricolous lichen vegetation of the dune system shows a zonation (demonstrated by random quadrat data) from predominantly sorediate species on the younger surfaces (dune-grass) to predominantly nonsorediate, heathland species on older surfaces (Callunetum). The zonation is interpreted as a succession relatable to soil changes. Comparison is made with other dune systems.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
