	year = {1983},
	note = {{\textquotedblleft}In an effort to describe the plant communities and succession of the Oregon coastal grasslands, vegetation and environmental data were collected from 75 stands at 24 separate locations ranging from Cape Falcon in Tillamook County to Cape Ferrelo in Curry County.{\textquotedblright} The author analyzed environmental variables in the different sites, found several previously unidentified  plant communities , and identified 249 different species at the different locations.  Latitude was a factor in determining plant communities, but the absence of fire was the most important factor in plant succession.  Includes color photographs of studied sites, and interesting paired photographs illustrating plant succession by showing the sites decades earlier and contrasting the same view with conditions in the early 1980s.

	note = {This excellent early look at plant communities in the Oregon dunes attempted to list the plant species found in the dunes, to develop some ideas about plant succession, and to describe some of the areas where dunes and deflation plains are found.  Studies were conducted in 1963, giving a relatively early point of comparison for measuring changes on the coast. {\textquotedblleft}Since literature was scarce for this particular study, the author had to depend mostly on field observations.{\textquotedblright} (p.100)  Doctoral dissertation.

In this interesting look at the vegetation of Oregon sand dunes, the author identifies nine different plant communities that represent different stages of plant succession on the dunes.  The author also examined the effects of salt spray on dune plants.  Includes b+w photographs. Major professor was William W. Chilcote.},
