• Background and Aims Burial is a recurrent stress imposed upon plants of coastal dunes. Woody plants are buried on open coastal dunes and in forested areas behind active blowouts; however, little is known about the burial responses and adaptive tr

The zonation of coastal dune plant communities from the beach to their inland margin is recognized worldwide; however, the cause of this pattern remains controversial because of the covariance of several environmental factors, such as sand burial, sa

We adapted a digital image analysis procedure to extract multispectral data from sequential colour air photos of a Lake Huron sand dune system and then classify land cover into water, sand, and vegetation. We isolated portions containing individual b

Studies were conducted to characterize the hydrogeology of a dune watershed and examine the impact of a dam on plant community dynamics. Hydrostratigraphic units of the watershed, the Old Ausable River Channel (OARC) watershed, consisted of a basal u

Greenhouse experiments were conducted to deter- mine the effects of sand burial on survival and growth of seedlings of Cirsium pitcheri. In 1992-1993, seedlings were buried to depths of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of their height while in 1993-1994, the

Seeds of seven dune species were collected from sand dunes of Lakes Erie and Huron and buried to various depths in a natural sand dune habitat along Lake Huron. The seed samples were then retrieved after varying lengths of time and examined for their
