Synecology of Cutandia maritima (L.) Barbey, a rare psammophytic species along the Montenegrin Coast (East Adriatic Coast)

Cutandia maritima is a circum-Mediterranean species that inhabits sandy dunes along the coast line. It is fairly frequent on the western Adriatic coast but fairly rare and possibly even non-native in the east. In Croatia, it was discovered in 1990 in Crnika Bay on the island of Rab, which was considered until 2005 to be the only site on the eastern Adriatic coast from the Gulf of Trieste in the north to Corfu in the south. In 2009, the species was briefly reported for Velika plaža (Long Beach) in Ulcinj (Montenegro) but without details about the habitat type and synecology. The aim of this paper is thus to provide a deeper insight into the ecology and synecology of C. maritima in the eastern Adriatic part of the distribution area. On Velika plaža in Ulcinj, the species was found along the whole sea-inland gradient of sand dunes, in various types of vegetation:

“…Because the growth environment of coastal vegetation was poorly developed due to wind-blown salt and sand and strong winds in this section (Moreno-Casasola 1986;Costa et al 1996;Shao et al 1996;Nakashima and Okada 2011;Ohta 2012), there was no variation in the species that grew (Doing 1985;Thomas et al 2010).…”

In this study, we investigated the Fukiage sand dunes of southern Kyushu, Japan. We surveyed the status of recovery of coastal Japanese black pine forests damaged by pine wilt disease and their disaster prevention capability. We placed two transects: Transect 1, in an area that was severely damaged (80-90% damage rate) by pine wilt disease, and Transect 2, in an area that was mostly undamaged (＜10% damage rate). Then, we installed survey lines, carried out vegetation surveys, and measured the depth and pH of humus soil. The survey lines were placed perpendicular to the coastline from the top of the fore-dune to the inland area, and divided into five 50 m sections. Before the point 100 m inland from the top of the fore-dune, the number of invasive hardwoods and of Japanese black pines were small because of the poor growth environment in both transects. Past the 100 m point, the species and number of Japanese black pines and broad-leaved trees increased further inland because the growth environment improved. In addition, the recovery metrics of tree height, diameter at breast height, age, and number in Transect 1 were much lower than those in Transect 2, and the basal area of broad-leaved trees and the depth of humus soil in Transect 1 were lower than in Transect 2, and the soil pH of humus soil in Transect 1 was higher than that of Transect 2. The shape ratio of the Japanese black pine forests indicated that they were insufficient for disaster prevention. Therefore, in order to fully promote the disaster prevention capability of coastal Japanese black pine forests, we should not only focus on prevention of pine wilt disease but also undertake continuous control efforts taking into consideration the sound growth environment such as appropriate density and soil management and removal of invasive broad-leaved trees.

“…These, along with other abiotic factors, affect primary production which in turn influences substrate pH, organic matter content and water holding capacity (Olff et al, 1993 ;Berendse et al, 1998). Feedback loops between conditions, resources and plants lead to species turnover along the spatial gradient (Doing, 1985 ;Hesp, 1991 ;Olff et al, 1993), even over short distances (Henriques & Hay, 1998 ; *Author for correspondence (tel j1 418 656 2131i2691 ; fax j1 418 656 2043 ; e-mail gilles.houle!bio.ulaval.ca).…”

Ecophysiological differences among Leymus mollis populations across a subarctic dune system caused by environmental, not genetic, factors

Plant species that persist during succession, from the colonization to the stabilization stages, face major environmental changes. Such changes are believed to have significant effects on species performance. In subarctic coastal dune systems, Leymus mollis colonizes the embryo dunes, on the upper limit of the beach. It reaches its maximum density on the foredune, but also grows on older, stabilized ridges. This paper reports on the phenotypic variations of some ecophysiological traits associated with the persistence of L. mollis on a dune system on the east coast of Hudson Bay (northern Quebec). Leymus mollis ramets tend to have a lower net carbon assimilation rate and water use efficiency, and a higher substomatal CO2 concentration on the stabilized dune than on the foredune. However, these physiological differences cannot be explained by differences in leaf morphology or nitrogen content. Under controlled conditions, ecophysiological differences observed in the field disappear, suggesting that these are not genetic but determined by environmental changes along the foredune‐stabilized dune gradient. We propose that higher net carbon assimilation rate on the foredune might be related to higher sink strength in relation to the growth‐stimulating effect of sand burial.
