Beach in Cabo Polonio, Uruguay

The major steps in succession found in dune communities are listed below.

Beach
There is little or no time for plants to take hold. Plants and animals that live here must be able to grow in sand, desert like conditions, relentless wind, extreme temperatures and intense sunlight. Scavengers of all levels of the food chain visit regularly to eat remnants of washed ashore fish, birds, animals and insects. The beach is generally divided into lower, middle and upper sections.
