This BLM grant is for supporting ecological research on the vital coastal dune ecosystems in Humboldt County, California. The Bureau of Land Management manages these successful native dune restoration sites, which are critical for the recovery of federally endangered beach layia and Humboldt Bay wallflower, showcasing functioning native plant diversity. However, these restored areas are often adjacent to dunes invaded by European beachgrass, which alters dune morphology and facilitates the establishment of yellow bush lupine. As a nitrogen fixer, yellow bush lupine further modifies the plant community. This grant seeks to understand the complex interactions within these restored and impacted dune environments, focusing on their insect communities and the broader ecological implications of these ongoing changes.

| Description: | Dune restoration has resulted in the increased plant diversity is an instrumental recovery component of federally endangered beach layia -Layia carnosa- and Humboldt Bay wallflower -Erysimum menziesii-. BLM-managed dunes in Humboldt County have become excellent examples of functioning native dune ecosystems. Restored dunes are often adjacent to dunes dominated by European beachgrass -Ammophila arenaria- which changes the dune morphology and allows other plants species such as yellow bush lupine -Lupinus arboreus- to become established. Yellow bush lupine is a nitrogen fixer which will lead to further changes in the dune plant community. |
