Abstract

Coastal dune plants are exposed to many threats, both natural and anthropogenic. Climate change result in dune erosion and disruption of the natural succession of these ecosystems. Anthropogenic factors include the introduction of foreign species, excessive tourist exploitation and urbanization. The aim of this article is to present the threats and forms of protection of dune plants of the Baltic region. These plants play a key role in maintaining dune stability and biodiversity. The main factors affecting the degradation of dune vegetation, such as erosion, pollution, invasion by alien species, climate change and tourism pressure, and possible ways to protect and manage these plants will be presented, based on examples from different Baltic countries. The article is an overview and emphasizes the need for international cooperation in this field.
