Critical transitions in Chinese dunes during the past 12,000 years
Dune systems can have alternative stable states that coexist under certain environmental
conditions: a vegetated, stabilized state and a bare active state. This behavior implies the …

Sand dune mobility under climate change in the Kalahari and Australian deserts
Vegetation cover on sand dunes mainly depends on wind power (drift potential—DP) and
precipitation. When this cover decreases below a minimal percentage, dunes will start …

Sand dune dynamics and climate change: A modeling approach
We provide several examples for the coexistence of active and fixed sand dunes under
similar climatic conditions, namely, with respect to wind power and precipitation rate. A …
