... Fieldwork at Ainsdale National Nature Reserve; Succession in Sand Dunes. Succession is a process, which occurs over time. Succession takes place over 100s of years; changes in soil and vegetation at a single location are a long lengthy process. The sand dunes in Ainsdale have undergone primary succession. This is when plants and animals colonize a previously deserted area; coastal sand dunes such as Ainsdale provide an exceptional environment for the study of primary succession. The vegetated dunes within the system have developed on an area of previously uncolonized sand. Due to the lengthy process of succession, time is replaced with distance. The dunes nearer the coast are younger than those further away. The diagram below shows a model of primary succession at a sand dune. Definitions - Strand line- the sand is dry and salty and lacking in plant nutrients. Only very specialist plants grow here such as sea rocket.
