64.3 - Palaeo-coastal dunes

Classification des habitats du Paléarctique (2001)

Description

Dune cordons marking former, though post-glacial, seashores. They are strongly decalcified and the communities that occupy them are similar to those of continental dunes, though floristically more influenced by the proximity of the sea, and often related to the decalcified inner fringes of the coastal dunes. Subhabitats may be indicated by use of the same codes as in unit 64.1 (replacing the prefix 64.1 by 64.3), specified by those of units 35.2, 31.2, 31.8, 41, 42 or 16.2.
