Aims Studies integrating phylogenetic history and large-scale community assembly are few,and many questions remain ***,we use a global coastal dune plant data set to uncover the important factors in community assembly across scales from the local filtering processes to the global long-term diversification and dispersal *** dune plant communities occur worldwide under a wide range of climatic and geologic conditions as well as in all biogeographic ***,global patterns in the phylogenetic composition of coastal dune plant communities have not previously been *** The data set comprised vegetation data from 18463 plots in New Zealand,South Africa,South America,North America and *** phylogenetic tree comprised 2241 plant species from 149 *** calculated phylogenetic clustering(Net Relatedness Index,NRI,and Nearest Taxon Index,NTI)of regional dune floras to estimate the amount of in situ diversification relative to the global dune species pool and evaluated the relative importance of land and climate barriers for these diversification patterns by geographic analyses of phylogenetic *** then tested whether dune plant communities exhibit similar patterns of phylogenetic structure within ***,we calculated NRI for local communities relative to the regional species pool and tested for an association with functional traits(plant height and seed mass)thought to vary along sea–inland *** Findings Regional species pools were phylogenetically clustered relative to the global pool,indicating regional *** showed stronger clustering than NRI pointing to the importance of especially recent diversifications within *** species pools grouped phylogenetically into two clusters on either side of the tropics suggesting greater dispersal rates within hemispheres than between *** NRI plot values confirmed that most communities were also phylogenetically clus
