Which outcome occurs as transverse dune migration slows at desert margins?

💡 Explanation

Vegetation succession occurs because decreasing wind energy promotes plant establishment, triggering the mechanism of ecological competition that stabilizes the dune substrate. Therefore, vegetation stabilizes dunes, rather than barchan formation, loess deposition, or ventifact creation that each require different conditions.
