Which outcome occurs when wind exceeds threshold friction velocity parallel a vegetated dune field?

💡 Explanation

Increased wind beyond friction velocity initiates saltation, causing increased sand transport because particle lift occurs and then is propelled by the aerodynamic drag of the dune surface. Therefore, saltation-mediated sand transport is heightened, rather than crest stability, since vegetation offers less friction defense for faster winds.
