Results show ed that total vegetation coverage, herbaceous coverage, and species richness w ere all decreased, and perennial species gradually gave place to psammophyte annuals, shrubs, and sem-i shrubs from gentle slope hilly ridge, through saline bottomland and fixed and sem-i fixed dune, and to shifting and sem-i shifting dune.
