Abstract
The class Glehnietea littoralis, which are dominated by stress-tolerant scrambling species, were first studied using the Zürich-Montpellier School's method in South Korea. The alliance Caricion kobomugi, which are subordinated to the Glehnietea littoralis, are the representative of coastal dune vegetation in South Korea. Gramineae, Compositae and Cyperaceae are the most important taxa in each coastal dune community. The Caricion kobomugi in South Korea are divided into six associations and one community: the Linario japonicae-Ischaemetum anthephoroidis, the Wedelio-Ischaemetum anthephoroidis, the Elymo-Caricetum kobomugi, the Wedelio-Caricetum kobomugi, the Elymo mollis-Zoysietum macrostachyae, the Wedelio prostratae-Zoysietum macrostachyae and the Carex kobomugi- community. All six associations in South Korea are subordinated to the Japanese syntaxa and hierarchical system because they share a common phytosociological species composition. The coastal dune communities are characterized both floristically and ecologically, and their distributions in South Korea are shown on maps.
