Changes in nutrient heterogeneity along sand dune and slack chronosequences at Tentsmuir Point, Eastern Scotland

Botanical Journal of Scotland, 2001
Summary Recent models have attempted to explain species coexistence and community structure by resource heterogeneity at a spatial scale below that of the individual plant. In this paper, we examine how heterogeneity changes through time. A comparative study of the heterogeneity of pH, phosphate, nitrate and nitrite levels was made within and along a ...

The role of waterlogging and sand accretion in modulating the morphology of the dune slack plant Scirpus americanus

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Botany, 1990
Scirpus americanus Pers., a major dune slack plant in coastal sand dune ecosystems, differs in height along transects ranging between the lowest and highest elevational areas of slacks located along the coast of Delaware, U.S.A. Using reciprocal transplant and common garden experiments, results suggest that environmental factors rather than hereditary

Ecohydrological studies of dune slack vegetation at Kenfig dunes, South Wales, UK [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Coastal Conservation, 2017
Dune slacks are important coastal sand dune habitats and seasonal changes in water levels within dune aquifers control both their formation and the specific hydrological conditions which then govern the floristic composition of their characteristic plant

Transfer of Biologically Fixed Nitrogen in a Sand Dune Slack Region

Nature, 1967
IT has previously been reported1 that natural populations of blue-green algae occurring in an area of sand dune slack at Blakeney Point, Norfolk, assimilate appreciable quantities of elemental nitrogen from the atmosphere during spring, summer and autumn, when there is often an abundant growth of gelatinous Myxophyceae.

A comparative ecophysiological study on the effects of waterlogging and submergence on dune slack plants: growth, survival and mineral nutrition in sand culture experiments

Oecologia, 1984
The effects of waterlogging and submergence on the growth, survival and mineral nutrition of four pioneer plants from wet dune slacks are compared. The results reveal a correlation between growth and nutrient acquisition under waterlogged conditions, survival under submerged conditions and 'root porosity'.
