Summary
Within a 3.5km stretch four transects were laid across Farewell Spit. A general description of the vegetation patterns is given and the potential for the development of coastal scrub is discussed. It is also suggested that, in addition to the introduced flora, grazing deer (Cervus elaphus) exert a considerable influence on the vegetation.
