Vegetation Ecology of Coastal Sand Dunes Along the Chennai Coast, India provides a comprehensive overview of the ecology, biodiversity, and conservation significance of coastal sand dune ecosystems along the Chennai coastline. The book describes the formation, classification, and ecological functions of sand dunes, highlighting their role in shoreline stabilization, groundwater recharge, biodiversity conservation, and protection against coastal hazards. It documents the floristic diversity, vegetation zonation, ecological succession, and adaptive strategies of dune plants thriving under harsh coastal conditions. The interactions among plants, microorganisms, and fauna are discussed to illustrate their contribution to ecosystem stability and resilience. The book also examines the impacts of urbanization, tourism, sand mining, invasive species, and climate change on dune ecosystems. Finally, it presents sustainable management and restoration strategies, emphasizing native vegetation conservation, community participation, and ecosystem-based coastal management to ensure the long-term protection and resilience of Chennai's coastal sand dunes.
