Management and vegetation of coastal sands in New South Wales, Australia, with special reference to Pleistocene beach sands

On the coast of New South Wales, management of Holocene sands and their vegetation has been well addressed, especially at the beach front, but management of Pleistocene sands and their vegetation has not, particularly in old beach systems. Problems that should be addressed in management of these systems and their vegetation are reviewed, and what is lacking in scientific understanding for their management is outlined. This lack includes an understanding of north-south variation in floristic composition of their vegetation and factors controlling populations of their plants.
