Abstract Aims Although many phytosociological studies have provided detailed local and regional descriptions of coastal dune vegetation, a unified classification of this vegetation in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin has been missing.

Location Atlantic and Baltic coasts of Europe, Mediterranean Basin and the Black Sea region. Method
