Which feedback results when vegetation stabilizes coastal dunes?

💡 Explanation

Decreased eolian transport capacity results from vegetation acting via aerodynamic roughness. Larger roughness decreases surface wind shear, therefore reducing sand entrainment rather than facilitating transport, because vegetation traps sand lowering wind velocity.
