Abstract

The development of vegetation and soil was investigated in wet coastal dune slacks in North Holland, The Netherlands (52°36'N, 4°37'E). Sod cutting in the past has created a time series from 1 to 30 years, with an even older undisturbed site as reference. After sod-cutting Schoenus nigricans, a typical pioneer species of wet dune slacks, established and contributed together with Calamagrostis epigejos to more than 85% of the aboveground biomass. At the control site the biomass was 9.5 t dry matter ha-1.
