Like on any other surface, vegetation has a "stabilizing effect" - the roots and leaves, etc. prevent or slow down erosion. In the case of deserts, the slow the rate of dune movement, thus slowing the spread of deserts.

What are secondary dunes?
The secondary dune is the sand dune behind the primary dune.
The leeward slope of a sand dune is also known as the?
The leeward side of a dune is shorter and called the slip face. Dunes often serve an important purpose in protecting land from storm waves.
What is a transverse sand dune?
It is a sand dune that is formed at right-angle to the prevailing wind.
Sand dune migration occurs when sand is blown over the top of the dune from the?
windward side.
What vegetation do grasslands have?
Grasslands have many types of vegetation such as shrubs,plants and trees.Vegetation is most important in grasslands
What factors affect dune shape?
AIR, WIND, & VEGETATION. The main effect to creating the dune is wind which is caused by air, if there is to much vegetation it is harder to make a dune.
What are a semi- dry plains with sparce vegetation?
Dune
Why is Dune important?
Like on any other surface, vegetation has a "stabilizing effect" - the roots and leaves, etc. prevent or slow down erosion. In the case of deserts, the slow the rate of dune movement, thus slowing the spread of deserts.
What is Dune Regeneration?
Dune regeneration refers to the restoration or natural rebuilding of sand dunes in coastal areas. This process typically involves planting native dune vegetation, fencing off dunes to protect them from erosion, and allowing natural processes to help rebuild the dune ecosystem. Dune regeneration is important for preserving coastal habitats, protecting against erosion, and providing a buffer against storm surges.

Why are the arms of a parabolic dune following and not leading the bulk as they do at a Barchan-Dune?
Parabolic dunes have trailing arms because the arms are usually 'held back' by surface vegetation. The vegetation acts to limit sediment transport by wind action and to consolidate the surface sands.
What determines the shape of sand dunes?
air,wind,and vegetation. The main effect to creating the dune is which caused by air

What type of dune forms at the right angles to the wind when there is abundant sand a lack of vegetation and a constant wind deflection?
Barchan :)
