The successional trajectory is basically unidirectional for more than 100 years; no clear multiple successional pathways were observed as is usual in coastal dunes. Successional divergence was observed only after approximately 130 years, in the composition of the herb layer in the closed pine forest. The obvious vegetation heterogeneity in the still active sand-blown area is given by the different timing of vegetation establishment on particular relief types, thus the succession exhibits an asynchronous character.
