Some of the most important causes of coastal sand dunes being threatened today are overgrowth of habitats, mechanical wear and construction. The study area, the boreal sand dunes of Vattajanniemi (belongs to Natura 2000 -network), is under heavy trampling (mechanical wear) because the area is in military and recreational use. Plant communities form clear zones parallel to the shore for topographically varied gradient driven by abiotic and biotic factors of stress and disturbance. There has been grazing, harvesting trees and scrub and limitations in trampling as management practices in Vattajanniemi to reduce the mechanical wear and to prevent the overgrowth. This study examined the changes in cover of vegetation, species richness and speci...
