“…This indicates, that the vegetation in the beach-dune system in the seaside park developed according to the same successional and ecological processes as in natural coastal dunes. The results agree well with recent experience by De Lillis et al (2004) from built-up dunes at the Mediterranean coast.…”

Vestergaard, P. 2006. Temporal development of vegetation and geomorphology in a man-made beach-dune system by natural processes. -Nord. J. Bot. 24: 309-326. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107-055X.Twenty-four yrs of primary succession in a man-made beach-dune system at the Baltic coast of Denmark, built of calcareous, marine sand and the dune planted with Ammophila arenaria, was studied by qualitative observations, quantitative records in permanent plots, levelling and soil analysis within a selected area of 0.75 ha. The aim of the study was to discuss whether human initiated and influenced beach and dune dynamics mimick natural beach and dune processes, and to discuss the relationship between succession and zonation. During the study period, which started in 1979, the man-made dune stabilized rather fast. In the stabilized dune, a sand-pararendzina with a thin A-horizon developed. The beach expanded by accretion of less calcareous, marine sand. On the beach new dunes, 3 m high, successively developed. The number of species in the study area increased from 16 to 55, accompanied by species and life form dynamics, characteristic for primary succession on sandy coasts. A gradual change in species composition of the permanent plots, which appeared by a DCA analysis, could by using TWMSPAN be structured into four groups or plant communities, which reflect succession as well as zonation. Two groups represent the vegetation of sandy beaches with annual dicotyledon species, and mobile dunes dominated by rhizomatous geophytes, especially A. arenaria. The two other groups represent stabilized, calcareous dune, dominated by hemicryptophytes, specially Festuca rubra, and less stabilized dune with R rubra and the invasive alien Rosa rugosa. It was concluded, that the main trends in the geomorphological and vegetational development of the man-made beach-dune system is similar to the development in natural dunes. In the future, fiuther accretion and seaward dune formation may be expected, but is it also expected, that larger parts of the area gradually will be covered by low scrubs of R. rugosa.

“…Due to erosion, management measures, e.g. smoothing of sand surfaces and planting of Ammophila or reinforcement of the dune by sand addition, are often needed in such ecosystems (van der Meulen & van der Maarel 1989, De Lillis et al 2004).…”

“…Eryngium maritimum L., usually named ‘sea holly’ in England or ‘Panicaut des mers’ in France, is a perennial plant (30–60 cm high) with mauve flowers (blossoming time, June–September), growing wild on the sandy beaches of western Europe, the Mediterranean basin and the Black Sea . The plant is one of the typical dune species implicated in the plant network that contributes to sand dune edification and restoration . E .…”

The chemical compositions of Corsican and Sardinian Eryngium maritimum L. essential oils were investigated using column chromatography, gas chromatography with flame ionization detection and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry in electron impact mode. Sixty‐three compounds were identified accounting for 85.8–95.7% of the total amount. With germacrene D (13.7–45.9%), three uncommon oxygenated sesquiterpenes, 4βH‐cadin‐9‐en‐15‐al (18.4–27.6%), 4βH‐cadin‐9‐en‐15‐ol (2.2–14.3%) and 4βH‐muurol‐9‐en‐15‐al (4.3–9.3%), were identified as main components of the essential oils obtained from the plant aerial parts. Relative to these, essential oils from the roots differed drastically with high contents of 2,4,5‐trimethylbenzaldehyde (39.8%), 2,3,6‐trimethylbenzaldehyde (29.0%) and α‐muurolene (23.5%). The chemical variability of Corsican and Sardinian E. maritimum essential oils was studied using statistical analysis. A direct correlation between the island of origin of the sample essential oils and their chemical compositions was assessed. Corsican essential oils exhibited higher amounts of hydrocarbon terpenes than Sardinian samples. Relative to other Eryngium species, Corsican and Sardinian E. maritimum essential oils exhibited original compositions with sesquiterpene aldehydes. These compounds, together with total essential oil, were tested for antioxidant properties using the DPPH and ABTS radical‐scavenging activity tests. No meaningful activity could be attributed to sesquiterpene aldehydes and the corresponding alcohols but the total essential oil and the oxygenated fraction of E. maritimum both demonstrated strong antioxidant properties.

Successful germination protocols for the following six dune species are presented: Centaurea sphaerocephala subsp. sphaerocephala, Jacobaea maritima subsp. maritima, Matthiola sinuata, Medicago marina, Pancratium maritimum, and Silene canescens. Seeds were collected in sand dunes along the Tyrrhenian coasts in south Tuscany and north Latium (central Italy). The germination ability was tested at the Tuscia Germplasm Bank (BGT) at six constant temperatures (from 5 to 30°C), under both light (with a 12/12h photoperiod) and total dark. Our results show a high germination ability and germination rate for the tested species. Germination dataPre-treatments: sterilization with a solution of 5% sodium hypochlorite + Tween 20 for 5 minutes, followed by 3 rinses in sterile distilled water.Germination medium: 1% agar.Sample size: 100 achenes for each test (20 × 5 replicates).
