Abstract
SUMMARYThe presence of living organisms and their metabolic products introduce a further series of biochemical factors into the physical conditions of life on the sandy beach.The gaseous exchanges of animals and plants lead to changes in the pH of the interstitial waters of the beach, but the calcareous matter associated with the sand acts as an alkali-reserve, preventing undue rise of acidity, and incidentally widening the potential range of carbonassimilation of the surface flora.
