Tsunamis are large waves that can inundate coastlines with water over 10 feet high. They can pull large amount of beach sand from the coast and drag it into the shallows off the coast, disrupting shallow water ecosystems. The sand can also be pulled inland, coating the ground with several inches of sand that can choke the grass and other plants further from the water. It also tends to knock over trees and rip up shrubs that help hold the topsoil in place and reduce erosion - this can lead to problems after the storm with excessive soil degradation and run-off.
