← GeographyWhich outcome occurs as transverse dune migration slows at desert margins?
A)Vegetation succession initiates stabilization✓
B)Barchan dunes form rapidly
C)Loess deposition rates accelerate dramatically
D)Ventifact abrasion increases sharply
💡 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.
