Previous work on the US Atlantic coast has generally shown that coastal foredunes are
dominated by two dune grass species, Ammophila breviligulata (American beachgrass) and …

Restoration of degraded dunes through revegetation of native dune building species is
critical to preserve multiple ecosystem services (ie, coastal protection, habitat). As dunes …

Sand dunes are important geomorphic formations of coastal ecosystems that are critical in
protecting human populations that live in coastal areas. Dune formation is driven by …

Nyssa sylvatica complex consists of several woody taxa occurring in eastern North America.
These taxa were recognized as two or three species including three or four varieties by …

Barrier islands are at the forefront of storms and sea-level rise. High disturbance regimes
and sediment mobility make these systems sensitive and dynamic. Island foredunes are …

Secondary metabolites such as antioxidants are critical components that protect seeds from
stress damage during seed development, desiccation, and ex-situ storage. Antioxidants are …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Previous studies of the comparative phylogeography of coastal
and marine species in the southeastern United States revealed that phylogenetically diverse …

Aims Dune building processes are affected by interactions between the growth of ecosystem
engineering dune grasses and environmental factors associated with disturbance such as …

Investigation of plant relationships is very important in phylogeny and plant culture. In this
work, we proposed an electrochemical fingerprint-based method for the investigation of …

Abstract The European Black Pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) has a long and complex history.
Genetic distance and frequency analyses identified three differentiated genetic groups …
