Figure 10. Average leaf number for lateral ramets in each microhabitat. Error bars denote
standard deviation.
The frequency of leaves per main ramet was 0.06 in the foredune, 0.06 in the dune, 0.11
in the swale, 0.11 in the shellhash, and 0.11 in the backdune (Figure 11).

Statistical Analyses: ANOVA analyses did not reveal statistical significance in the average
number of nodes per main ramet (p-value of 0.133), although Tukey’s post hoc analysis showed
