Understanding Dunelands: The Ecosystem Between the Dunes and the Sea
Dunelands is a term used to describe the area of land that lies between the dunes and the sea. Dunes are high sandy ridges or banks that form along coastlines, often as a result of wind blowing sand inland. The space between the dunes and the sea is known as the duneland. This area can be covered in vegetation such as grasses, shrubs, and trees, and may also include wetlands or other aquatic features. Dunelands are important ecosystems that provide habitat for a variety of plants and animals, and can also serve as natural barriers against storms and erosion.
