EDITORS COMMENTS

Ammophila arenaria, commonly known as marram grass, is a fascinating plant that plays a crucial role in dune formation. Found in various locations around the world, including Zuid Kennemerland National Park in Noord-Holland, the Netherlands and on the island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, this resilient grass helps stabilize sand dunes with its extensive root system. One such breathtaking sight can be witnessed on the Isle of Berneray, located in the sound of Harris. Here, Ammophila arenaria creates stunning sand dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see. The RF - Sand dunes with Marram grass at Seilebost beach showcases nature's artistry at its finest. The beauty continues on Luskentyre beach where sand dunes adorned with marram grass greet visitors during sunrise. The golden hues cast by early morning sunlight create a magical atmosphere that is truly captivating. These scenes are further enhanced when viewed from afar across Sound of Taransay to North Harris hills or amidst stormy weather on West Harris. It also thrives in other parts of Scotland like the northern region of Isle of Lewis. Together with interconnected landscapes, it forms an awe-inspiring picture-perfect view that leaves one breathless. In Picture No. 11808790 and CJO0591839 we witness firsthand how Ammophila arenaria transforms ordinary beaches into extraordinary landscapes filled with undulating sand formations and vibrant greenery. Whether you find yourself exploring Zuid Kennemerland National Park or wandering along sandy shores in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, don't forget to take a moment to appreciate Ammophila arenaria's remarkable contribution to these natural wonders.
