These studies were conducted on the sandy seashore and dunes in the vicinity of Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. We found that the soils which were covered with vegetation usually had a very low NaCl content. In the places near the shore, the NaCl content in the dry sand was 0.003%-0.008%. In the places about 300 meters or more from the shore, only traces of NaCl were found. An exception, however, was found in a community of Carex Kobomugi OHWI, where the soils contained 0.056% of NaCl. The pH values, found in soils covered with vegetation, were between 6.2 and 8.2. Thus the soil usually tends to be slightly alkaline or neutral in the places near the shore, and to be slightly acid in the places away from the shore.
