| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined the revegetation of coastal plants damaged by the Tohoku tsunami of 2011 in a sandy beach to coastal forest ecotone in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The revegetation of coastal plants was different in each region. Coastal plant density was significantly higher in the forest than on the beach. Coastal plants likely established in the coastal forest from the seedbank or from rhizomes extending from the beach. Also, our results suggest that it is important to maintain diverse conditions of microtopography and salinity to conserve the diversity of wetland plants in this region.
