Which outcome results on a coast when prevailing winds consistently undergo saltation across established dunes?

💡 Explanation

Coastal dune saltation leads to inland migration because wind-driven sand particles bombard plants and destabilize the dune structure, increasing erosion. Therefore, dune migration is accelerated, rather than the alternative of ecosystem stabilization, if there is insufficient plant growth or protection.
