  abstract = {{P}lant-parasitic nematodes are involved in soil fatigue processes in coastal foredunes and, therefore, have an impact on the growth of plants such as marram grass ({A}mmophila arenaria) that enhance sand accretion and the stabilisation of dunes. {T}ransects were sampled in {E}uropean {A}tlantic and {M}editerranean foredunes at different locations. {P}lant-parasitic nematode communities and physico-chemical soil properties were analysed, and multivariate techniques were used to link them. {A}lthough all the dunes are of sandy texture, the {A}tlantic and {M}editerranean dunes mainly differ by their ratio of coarse and fine sands. {M}editerranean dunes, although more disturbed by storms than the {A}tlantic dunes, have fine-textured soils that can accumulate organic matter. {T}hey trap a large amount of minerals and have a high carbonate concentration due to the salinity of the {M}editerranean {S}ea. {A}s a result of the higher content of coarse sand in the top horizons, probably due to a higher accretion of sand, {A}tlantic foredune soils are low in organic matter and minerals. {S}oils from {N}orth and {I}rish {S}ea dunes have intermediate characteristics. {T}hese soil contrasts lead to specific plant-parasitic nematode communities. {T}hus, nematodes such as {H}emicycliophora spp., {N}eodolichorhynchus spp., {L}ongidorus spp. and {M}erlinius spp. generally colonise the carbonated and mineralised soils of the {M}editerranean dunes, and do not seem to be affected by high salinity. {C}onversely, populations of {M}eloidogyne spp. and {P}ratylenchus spp. nematodes are more commonly found in coarse textured soils and the oligotrophic conditions that occur in {A}tlantic dunes. {S}pecific local conditions such as the presence of paleosols do not seem to disturb them. {C}onsidering that both nematode species are major pests in cropping systems, higher population levels due to their fit to such soil characteristics can explain their contribution to soil fatigue encountered in {A}tlantic dunes.},
