Significant Coastal Dune Loss Challenges California's Climate Resilience and Biodiversity Goals

Earth's Future
Coastal sand dunes support unique biodiversity and buffer beaches and communities against storm impacts. However, these sensitive and dynamic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by erosion, sea‐level rise (SLR), and encroaching coastal development ...

Stochastic dynamics of coastal dune vegetation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface
Abstract This work introduces a physically based modeling framework to capture the spatio‐temporal dynamics of dune vegetation under stochastic environmental disturbances. The model evaluates vegetation cover in response to random wind speed and runup within a cross‐shore dimensionless framework.
