摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the morphological traits of beach plants, especially those at leading edge vegetation. It focuses on three four North American coastlines: (1) Atlantic, (2) Gulf Mexico, and (3) Pacific Coasts. The studies described in include zonation data to distinguish species vegetation from characteristic rest that typify more stabilized dunes behind foredune. Taxonomic diversity coast is resolved into a small pool growth-form syndromes. Each syndrome selected through evolutionary time as being adaptative habitat, value given trait can be estimated by computing percentage flora share it. basic cause-and-effect nature adaptations revealed only laboratory experimentation field manipulation.
