Climate and coastal dune vegetation: disturbance, recovery, and succession (2010, background): “vegetation patterns through time to study the dynamic pattern between disturbance and short-term succession for dune environments (see Day et al. 2001; Martinez et al. 2001; Snyder and Boss 2002).”
Burial of Plants as a Selective Force in Sand Dunes (2008, background): “on primary succession on mobile tropical dunes, Martinez et al. (2001) showed that the spatial distribution, coverage, diversity and relative frequency of early colonizers, Chamaecrista chamaecristoides and Palafoxia lindenii, were positively correlated with the amount of burial in sand.”
The 2004 tsunami in Aceh and Southern Thailand: A review on coastal ecosystems, wave hazards and vulnerability (2008, background): “Shading of foliage increases water retention of the sand substrate and therefore also its binding capacity; and most importantly, the roots themselves provide a structural binding environment by stimulating bioactivity through nutrient exudates, contributing to the accumulation of organic material, ”
