TLDR
The percent germination of buried seeds, percent emergence, and emergence rte of seedlings showed negative correlation with burial depth and the effects of sand burial on seed germination, seedling emergence, survival, and growth of Agropyron psammophilum were studied.Abstract:
Studies were conducted to determine the effects of sand burial on seed germination, seedling emergence, survival, and growth of Agropyron psammophilum In the field, seedlings of A psammophilum emread more

TL;DR: This work has shown clear trends in the dispersal and regeneration of seeds in disturbed areas, and these trends are likely to continue into the next decade.

Adaptations of plants to burial in coastal sand dunes
TL;DR: Studies show that below a certain threshold level of burial, the growth of all foredune plant species is stimulated probably because of multiple factors, namely improved soil resources, increase in soil volume, reactive plant growth, and enhanced mycorrhizal activity, but as the level of bury increases, the positive response starts to decline until it becomes a negative value.

Adaptations enhancing survival and establishment of seedlings on coastal dune systems
TL;DR: Higher vigour of seedlings, larger seed size and seed polymorphism were also of adaptive significance to the species, and plants responded to salt spray by inhibition of seed germination, developing resistance, increase in leaf thickness and reduced uptake of Na and Cl ions.

Primary succession and forest development oncoastal lake michigan sand dunes
TL;DR: In this paper, vegetation and soil properties were described across a well-dated sand-dune chronosequence to document patterns and rates of primary succession and forest ecosystem development, and determine environmental constraints that potentially drive succession and regulate species diversity.

Environmental factors controlling the distribution of forbs on coastal foredunes in Cape Hatteras National Seashore
TL;DR: Measurements of soil moisture, soil nutrients, and soil temperatures indicate that these factors differ only slightly on the front, top, and back of the foredune, and these three factors appear to have little influence on the establishment of dune forbs.

The effects of burial by sand on Ammophila breviligulata
M. A. Maun,J. Lapierre +1 more
TL;DR: During the summers of 1980 and 1981 part of an established population of Ammophila breviligulata growing along the Lake Huron shoreline was subjected to varying levels of artificial burial by sand and the number of emerging shoots as well as the above-ground biomass per unit area decreased.
