Which morphological effect characterizes transverse dune stabilisation by vegetation?

A)Formation of parabolic dunes
B)Increased barchan dune migration
C)Decreased slipface development rate
D)Enhanced star dune coalescence

💡 Explanation

Parabolic dunes form because established vegetation anchors dune arms, slowing their migration relative to the dune's center exposed to stronger winds therefore, characteristic U-shape parabolic dunes result, rather than uniform movement seen in other dune types without established vegetation patterns.
