| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The coastal grassland ecosystem in coastal dunes is important to connect the sea and the land area. However, it has been rare by the human impacts. After the tsunami damage by the East Japan great earthquake disaster, the biological diversity of the coastal dune area is being watched. Land use design for the biological conservation and disaster control in coastal dunes are necessary. In this study, we examined the desirable management of the coastal grassland from the Gulf of Sendai coast, an overseas example and managed Tottori sand dunes.
Species composition and community structure of plants varied according to difference in dune management, and the influence of the human impacts even if kept in protective condition. On the other hand, the dune became the forest when it was left unattended. From an overseas example, it was suggested that control of the human impact was important to the total management.
