The Salt Spray Community
Boyce S. 1954. The Salt Spray Community. Ecological Monographs. 24(1):29-68
This investigation was designed to analyze some of the specific effects of salt spray as an ecological factor in the coastal dune environment. The principal objectives were to investigate (1) the source of salt spray, (2) the transportation and deposition of salt particles, (3) the relation of salt spray to the zonation and growth forms of coastal plants, (4) the variation in tolerance of the species to salt spray and (5) the responses of different species to high concentrations of oceanic salts.
