Barbey, a rare psammophytc species along the Montenegrin Coast (East Adriatc Coast) JF - Hacquetia JA - Hacquetia VL - 16 IS - 2 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://ojs.zrc-sazu.si/hacquetia/article/view/6708 SP - AB - <span class="fontstyle0">Cutandia maritima </span><span class="fontstyle2">is a circum-Mediterranean species that inhabits sandy dunes<br />along the coast line. It is fairly frequent on the western Adriatic coast but fairly<br />rare and possibly even non-native in the east. In Croatia, it was discovered in<br />1990 in Crnika Bay on the island of Rab, which was considered until 2005 to be<br />the only site on the eastern Adriatic coast from the Gulf of Trieste in the north<br />to Corfu in the south. In 2009, the species was briefly reported for Velika plaža<br />(Long Beach) in Ulcinj (Montenegro) but without details about the habitat<br />type and synecology. Te aim of this paper is thus to provide a deeper insight<br />into the ecology and synecology of </span><span class="fontstyle0">C. maritima </span><span class="fontstyle2">in the eastern Adriatic part of<br />the distribution area. On Velika plaža in Ulcinj, the species was found along the<br />whole sea-inland gradient of sand dunes, in various types of vegetation: [1210]<br />– annual vegetation of drift lines, [2110] – embryonic shifting dunes, [2120]<br />– shifting dunes with </span><span class="fontstyle0">Ammophila arenaria </span><span class="fontstyle2">(white dunes), [2220] – dunes with<br /></span><span class="fontstyle0">Euphorbia terracina</span><span class="fontstyle2">, [2130*] – fxed coastal dunes with herbaceous vegetation<br />(grey dunes), and also [2190] – humid dune slacks.</span> ER -
