Dune Plant - Sunset Beach, NC, USA
Beach vegetation reduces wind speed, causing sand to accumulate. As sand builds up, plants adapted to the beach environment emerge, stabilizing the surface and promoting further dune formation. In the absence of stabilizing vegetation, blowing sand may drift into large "live" dunes that move back and forth with the wind, such as Jockey's Ridge near Kill Devil Hills.
