Inland cultivation caused declines of buoyancy and germination ability of Glehnia littoralis fruits, because of long-term dispersal failure. Inland transplanting is, therefore, insufficient for conserving this species. As a coastal specialist, G. littoralis can only persist for long along sand coasts, where storm surge is a natural vector for dispersal.
