Excerpt

Vegetated coasts are those where rooted vascular plants are a persistent feature of the coastal landscape. This can include dunes, salt marshes, sea-grass beds, gravel barriers, and rocky coastlines. The type of vegetation, as well as its importance in shaping the coastal environment, varies according to climate, sedimentary deposits, and wave and tidal energy regimes. These variables control both the type of vegetation that can survive, and the physical context within which the plants interact with sedimentary and geomorphic processes to shape coastal landscapes. Vegetation not only exists in many coastal settings, it is an important biogeomorphic agent and as such is an integral link between the ecological and landform dynamics of coastal systems. While the presence of vegetation in dunes or on salt marshes has long been recognized as an essential characteristic of those environments, the importance of plant growth forms and their adaptations to stressful physicochemical conditions in shaping coastal landforms has only more recently received attention. For example, Bauer and Sherman (1999, p. 73) describe foredunes as being “geomorphologically conditioned by the germination, colonization, and succession of vegetation assemblages characteristic of coastal environments.” Clearly, understanding the dynamics of vegetated coasts requires not only knowledge of the prevailing physical and sedimentological conditions but insights into vegetative form and function. …
