Habitat: temperate coniferous forest

Protection: nature reserve

Substrate: ground surface

Habitat comments: "coastal dune habitats... The white dune bordering the sea was narrow and low, gradually transforming to the grey dune. This habitat covered about 20 m wide zone. The width of typical grey dune was about 50 m. Inlands the grey dune is bordered by dry grassland near Scotch pine plantings"

Life forms: orthopterans

Sampling methods: line transect,pitfall traps

Sample size: 156 individuals

Years: 2005

Days: 14

Seasons: summer

Nets or traps: 90

Net or trap nights: 1260

Sampling comments: "faunistic data were obtained also by use of pitfall traps... Pitfall traps were arranged on three transects parallel in-between (interval between them was 7-8 m) and perpendicular to the coast. Every of three 60 m a long transect started at white dune then crossed typical grey dune and ended at dry coastal meadow. The distance between traps was 2 m. The exposition period lasted two weeks"
