How are forests created on bare sand?

Most plants growing on sand draw mineral nourishment from two unlikely sources. They strip the fine mineral coating from grains of beach sand (turning yellowish grains white) and also absorb small amounts of atmospheric trace minerals, washed into the sand by rain.

Decaying plants return these minerals to the sand. Over time, minerals are concentrated in the sandmass, providing nutrients that support a succession of forest types, from coastal pioneers and shrubby woodlands to tall rainforests. As each successive dune forms, a thicker, deeper nutrient layer develops, able to support taller more complex forest. (See Pile Valley Fraser Island picture below right) But on Great Sandy's older dunes the nutrient layer has been leached by water beyond the reach of even deep tree roots. Here, the tall forests are replaced by stunted woodlands, (See picture below left) shrubs and low heaths. This phenomenon -- 'retrogressive succession' -- is of international scientific interest.

At Fraser Island and Cooloola, older dunes are generally to the west, overlaid partly by progressively younger dunes to the east.

Beaches -- home in shifting sand
Life is abundant -- pipis (shellfish) and moon snails live in the shifting intertidal sand (look for small snail tracks); sand-bubbler crab colonies leave patterns of tiny sand balls; ghost crabs scuttle on the sand at night (look for burrow entrances near dunes). Go beachcombing to find strange objects washed up by the tides. Watch out for bluebottles with long blue stingers, sometimes washed ashore following strong winds. Flotsam, such as jellyfish (right) is food for scavenging crabs and birds, adding nutriments to the sand.

Pied oystercathers probe soft beach sand for pipis. Take care when driving not to disturb oystercatchers, flocks of terns, or tiny red-capped plovers trying to feed. (Imagine being constantly interrupted during dinner by cars speeding through your home!). Drive slowly around people too -- they may not hear cars over the sound of the surf.

Backpackers Enjoying Australia - Fraser Island and Hervey Bay

Pioneers and coastal forest -- holding dunes together
Holding the coastal fore dunes together are salt-tolerant pioneer plants (right): pigface, with its fleshy angular leaves and purple flowers, goatsfoot vine, with its purple trumpet flowers, and beach spinifex, creeping over the dunes and trapping sand swept from the beach by the wind. Pioneers begin nutriment and soil development. Their roots host bacteria that convert airborne nitrogen that enrich the soil.

Small, hardy trees such as beach sheoak, coastal banksia and pandanus are a more permanent stabalising force on the fore dunes. they protect wattles, hopbush, tuckeroo and stunted eucalyptus trees from harsh salt laden winds. Abundant banksia flowers in the coastal forests provide plentiful food for insects and nectar eating birds. Cars and campers can disturb this fragile sand environment through erosion and pollution. please take care near dunes. 
Keep a look out overhead for brahminy kites and white-bellied sea eagles. They nest in the coastal forest's larger trees, which offer easy access to their feeding ground along the beach.

A maze of colours and textures
Protected from the harshest salt-laden winds, and growing where richer sand is starting to develop, trees in the mixed forests and woodlands are larger than those of the coastal forests, though more stunted than the same species in the tall eucalypt forests. Fires clear the understorey of the foxtail sedge, bracken and blady grass, and fallen leaves and twigs, providing an ashbed for new seedling growth. With age, trees develop hollows that shelter nesting birds and nocturnal gliding possums. Ant nests are conspicuous on the forest floor, and more than 300 species of ants have been recorded in Great Sandy.

Scribby gums (above right), with their scribby pathways from burrowing caterpillars, stand beside the reddish trunks of the smooth-barked apple, contrasting with the corky bark of banksias. Strong winds twist the limbs of pink bloodwoods and Moreton Bay ash into strange shapes. Grass trees with their long flower spike, provide food for nectar eating birds and bees.
