Abstract | The fieldwork was carried out on the Świna Gate Barrier shore (Polish Baltic coast). The investigations were started after a strong storm surge, that washed out foredunes on the Polish coast in November 1995. Since 1996, a new dune ridge has been observed to be expanding on the still developing beach. Although affected by storm surges and wave action, the new ridge has been persistent. The beach has becoming increasingly wider each year, more and more plants colonising the new dune ridge. |
