INLAND DUNE VEGETATION OF THE NETHERLANDS

Drifting sands in the Netherlands are the result of human over-exploitation (sod-cutting, over-grazing) of woodlands and heathlands. The most important association of inland sand dune areas is the Spergulo-Corynephoretum (Corynephorion canescentis), which is poor in vascular plants, but in it older...
