Morphology and grain size distribution of coastal dunes should be well documented because they are critical to dune's buffering capacity and resilience against storm surges. The nationwide coastal dune survey produced the dataset, including beach-dune topographic profiles and grain size parameters for frontal beaches, foredunes, and inland dunes. This research investigated the dataset to describe geomorphic and textural properties of coastal dunes: foredune slopes, dune heights above approximately highest high water, mean size, and sorting, together with associated variables of coastal setting that influence coastal dunes. It also explores the possibility of a dune type scheme based on gran size trends. The results are as follows. First, the coast in which dunes are developed is the primary control on foredune morphology and sediment texture. Coastal dunes on the east coast were developed more alongshore rather than inland, with gentler slopes on the higher ground and out of coarser sand. The shore aspect contributes to this pattern because the east coast cannot benefit from prevailing northwesterly. Second, grain size trends from beaches through foredunes to inland dunes were little identified. Third, 12 dune types were identified from 69 dunes, showing the indicative capability for the status of beaches and dunes. We confirmed that the dataset could increase our understanding of the overall characteristics of coastal dune morphology and texture, though there is something to be improved, for example, establishing the refined and comprehensive field survey protocol.

임자도 대광사구의 현존상관식생은 해안 방풍림으로 조성된 곰솔군락이 가장 넓게 분포하고 아까시나무군락, 갯그령군락, 띠-갯그령군락, 통보리사초군락, 갯쇠보리군락, 띠군락, 갈대군락, 띠-산조풀군락이 띠모양 또는 파편화로 분포하였다. 조사지점 74개소에 대해 식물사회학적 방법으로 자료를 수집 및 분석한 결과, 대광사구식생의 종조성은 7개군락, 5개군으로 총 10개 식생단위로 유형화되었다. 7개 군락은 곰솔군락, 갯그령군락, 아까시나무군락, 해당화군락, 갯쇠보리군락, 통보리사초군락, 산조풀군락으로 구분되었으며, 곰솔군락의 하위단위로 고사리군, 갯그령군, 곰솔전형군의 3개군과 산조풀군락의 하위단위로 갈대군, 산조풀전형군의 2개군으로 구분되었다. 종의 해안선으로부터 대상분포는 갯그령 - 통보리사초, 좀보리사초 - 갯완두 - 갯메꽃 - 순비기나무, 갯완두, 갯쇠보리 - 해당화 순으로 나타났다. 종단면을 분석한 결과, 전사구의 초본식생의 폭이 넓고, 전사구 전면부의 경사가 완만하며, 사구열이 많고, 구조물이 없는 유형이 사구의 침식에 덜 취약하고, 회복에 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

The characteristics and burial ages of sand sediments on the Jiduri coast in Daechung-myeon, Ongjin-gun, Incheon were investigated. Daecheong Island is the area where the characteristics of the rocky coast and sand coast are shown. Various studies have been conducted on the Okjukdong sand dune that appears in the north of the island. However, there has been no study on the sandy sedimentary topography of the Jiduri and Moraewul area in the south. The sandy sedimentary terrain of Jiduri is divided into sandy beaches, sand dunes and sand deposits along the slope including climbing dune. Overall, the depth of sandy sediments in Jiduri is not deep. The characteristics of sandy sediments and burial ages were investigated at an elevation of about 23 m above sea level at the back of Jiduli Beach and 46 m above sea level at the ridge line between Jiduri and Moraewol. From the Jiduri coast to the hillside behind, the average grain size decreases and the sorting becomes better as it moves from the intertidal zone to the beach and the foredune. This indicates the selective sand transport by the wind and can be judged by the terrain formed under the current sedimentation environment. The average grain size at the upper part of the section of JD-1 (elevation of about 23m MSL) was $1.6918{\varphi}$ of medium sand. The sorting was $0.4584{\varphi}$, skewness was -1.0491 and kurtosis was -1.2411, respectively. Particularly, the average particle size of the crosssection issomewhat uniform, but the color of the constituent material changes from brown to black. In the case of JD-2 (about 46 m MSL), the mean grain size of the section was $1.7943{\varphi}$, the sorting was 0.4931, the skewness was -1.1163, and the kurtosis was 1.2133. On the other hand, the brown and black layers of JD-1 exhibited a burial age of $0.1{\pm}0.0ka$ and the JD-2 had a burial age of $0.7{\pm}0.0ka$.
