Abstract

There were three vegetation types in blowing sand dunes of Mui Ne, Phan Thiet city, Binh Thuan province; native sand binding grasses type, mix species of native grasses and low shrub type and evergreen trees biome in coastal sand dune type. Group of dominant typical species were identified in each vegetation type in which three significant canopy layers were confirmed with evergreen trees biome in coastal sand dune type. The similarity among different vegetation types was evaluated, Sorenson’s index (S) showed that similarity of species in the vegetation types native sand binding grasses and mix species of natuve grasses and low shrub is 0.61, Shannon index (H’) for all three types is low but the highest come from evergreen trees biome in coastal sand dune type (H’ = 0.17 for trees and 0.06 for vines and shrub species. Results and lessons learned from this study are referred to conservation and ecological restoration activities.
