Which outcome results when insolation decreases in coastal dune ecosystems?

💡 Explanation

Plant colonization slows due to reduced photosynthesis causing a net vegetation productivity decrease because energy via insolation becomes the limiting factor, hence species richness ultimately falls; therefore diversity decreases, rather than dune forms immediately shifting which requires longer term aeolian changes.
