← GeographyWhich process dominates when dune migration encounters vegetation?
A)Dune stabilization via sediment trapping✓
B)Increased deflation around vegetation bases
C)Vegetation burial causing dune slipface advancement
D)Mechanical abrasion accelerating plant damage
💡 Explanation
Dune stabilization occurs because vegetation traps wind-blown sand, inhibiting further dune migration via Aeolian transport; therefore dune encroachment slows, rather than accelerating abrasion or causing slipface advancement without stabilization of sediments between vegetation patches.
