Casuarina equisetifolia is one of the most important artificially planted protective forests along the coast in southern China for windbreaks, soil erosion, and sand dune stabilization. Self-renewing of C. equisetifolia is very limited, which might be caused by low soil nutrient levels and reduced microbial activity.
