“…In addition to storms, other factors such as a high water table, low sediment supply, grain size variability, development of shell lag and climatic conditions may also result in the suppression of the coalescing of coastal foredunes Russell, 2006, 2009;Wolner et al, 2013;Hoonhout and de Vries, 2016;Ruz and Hesp, 2014;Ruz et al, 2017a). Feedbacks between the wind, dune vegetation and sediment transport that are specific to hummocky dunes may also alter the rates of coalescing (Barrineau and Ellis, 2013;Gillies et al, 2014), such as the development of high wind velocity regions located adjacent to hummocky dune forms (Hesp and Smyth, 2017).…”

“…Low areas without dunes can remain low because of shell or coarse-grained lags, a high water table that causes plant stress, and/or climatic conditions such as cold temperatures prohibiting plant growth (e.g., Russell, 2006, 2009;Wolner et al, 2013;Ruz and Hesp, 2014;Ruz et al, 2017a). Godfrey (1977) hypothesized that barrier island orientation relative to the prevailing winds exerts a control on foredune morphology, with taller dunes occurring when winds blow directly onshore, perpendicular to the shoreline.…”

“…Based on these previous studies, a 'high' island will develop if the frequency of storm events permits the recovery of dune building vegetation, while a low island will develop if frequent storms limit dune building vegetation (Stallins and Parker, 2003;Duran and Moore, 2013). The vegetation type is a response to changes in the amount of sediment partitioned between the nearshore and overwash, which suggests that a change in the frequency of storms relative to the rate of sediment exchange from the nearshore to the beachface (and ultimately the dune) may lead to a self-reinforcing cycle that ends with a 'low' island dominated by maintainer species that preserve flow flat topography (see Wolner et al, 2013).…”

“…Compared to studies that document beach and dune erosion during storms, the rates and mechanisms of post-storm dune recovery have received relatively little attention in the literature -with notable exception for Olson (1958) (2013), Wolner et al (2013), and Lucas and Carter (2013). The majority of studies focus on erosion of the beach and dune, and the immediate recovery of the nearshore and beach profile following storms (Zeigler et al, 1959;Warnke et al, 1966;Katuna, 1991;Sexton and Hayes, 1991).…”

“…Specifically, it has been suggested that a feedback loop, subsequently termed the “maintainer feedback”, may contribute to the long-term maintenance of the low-elevation, frequently disturbed environment which characterizes Metompkin Island [5], [10]. The absence of dune-building due to the presence of S. patens enhances the probability of repeated disturbances [5].…”
