“…Over at least the past 30 years, more “dynamic” approaches to dune restoration have emerged that aim to re‐establish natural ecological and geomorphic disturbance processes (e.g., wind erosion, sand transport, burial), floral and faunal communities, and related morphodynamics to restore lost ecosystem form and function (e.g., Arens, Mulder, et al, 2013; Arens, Slings, et al, 2013; Bird et al, 2020; Darke et al, 2016; De Jong et al, 2014; Van der Meulen et al, 1989; Hesp & Hilton, 2013; Hilgendorf et al, 2022; Houston, 1991, 1997; Konlechner et al, 2015; Lithgow et al, 2013; Martínez & Psuty, 2004; Nordstrom, 2008; Ruessink et al, 2018; Walker et al, 2013, this volume). Substantial research suggests that a more dynamic dune landscape, wherein natural geomorphic and biotic processes are stimulated and restored, provides a more resilient ecosystem with favorable ecological conditions to support native plant communities.…”
