Between land and sea - saline and brackish grasslands of the Baltic Sea coast. Data usability, characterisation and conservationproject finished 2019
I investigated the vegetation and phytodiversity of Baltic Sea saline and brackish grasslands, focusing on methodological, ecological and nature conservation aspects. I conducted analyses based on my own data and compiled historical and current data, which I proposed to transform to make them applicable for further analyses (Pätsch et al. 2019 a). I described the Baltic Sea coastal grasslands along the entire coastline in relation to their ecology, littoral placement, geographic patterns, phytogeography and assignment to North-west European salt grasslands. I further reviewed their conservation aspects (Pätsch et al. b). Based on analyses of characteristic species of low-growing coastal grasslands in relation to Elytrigia repens, I elaborated a proposal to asses the quality of coastal grassland vegetation (Pätsch et al. 2019 c).
