These ecosystems are shaped by clonally-growing dune grasses that trap sediment as patch size increases, enabling the grasses to avoid stress from seawater flooding and freshwater scarcity. However, it remains poorly understood how increasing climate extremes will impact the establishment and survival dynamics of this vegetation. This study investigated the effects of an experimental climatic compound drought and heatwave (CDHW) on <i>Elytrigia juncea</i> in an embryonic dune field.<h3 style=\"margin-left:0px;\"><strong>Methods</strong></h3>Over a four-week field experiment, we examined two plant-patch sizes (0.014 m<sup>2</sup> vs. 1.953 m<sup>2</sup>) and two climatic treatments (ambient vs. CDHW), monitoring plant response and soil moisture. We hypothesized that larger patches would better resist the CDHW due to their enhanced freshwater storage within larger dune bodies.<h3 style=\"margin-left:0px;\"><strong>Results</strong></h3>Contrary to our expectations, <i>E. juncea</i> exhibited a positive response to CDHW, with longer shoots in both patch sizes. Initial soil moisture profiles remained similar across patch sizes throughout the experiment. Moreover, soil moisture profiles indicated a substantial freshwater source within reach of roots in all plots, explaining the absence of drought stress.<h3 style=\"margin-left:0px;\"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3>Our findings&nbsp;suggest that pioneer dune grasses can be highly resistant to climatic CDHW when roots can reach fresh groundwater, a condition which can occur when a thin freshwater lens is present in proximity to larger dune complexes. For establishing dune grasses, it is not merely dune formation on a local scale but rather on a landscape scale that is crucial for coping with extreme climatic events.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"The effect of a climatic compound drought and heatwave event on the dune-building grass Elytrigia juncea","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-10 01:33:05.293569","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Climate change; Coastal dunes; Drought and heat; Embryonic dunes; Elytrigia juncea; Patch size","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2026-02-04","DateCreate":"2026-02-04","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1007/s11104-025-07370-1"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":437485,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"3061-3072","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"513","Issue":"2","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":45698,"SerRR":"Plant and Soil.
