“…Single‐dune ridges may be more vulnerable to erosion under the influence of wind and water from multiple directions, requiring more active dune management to maintain their stability. Dune management strategies such as sand fencing, and dune grading are used to rebuild or restore dunes (Feagin et al., 2015; D. L. Miller et al., 2001). Sand fencing is used to trap wind‐blown sand and encourage dune growth in specific areas, while dune grading can reshape dunes and stabilize them against erosion (Itzkin et al., 2020).…”

Since the field measurement of wave overwash is difficult to obtain during severe storms, a laboratory experiment is conducted to measure the time and space evolution of the overwash and beach profile over the sand dune continuously using high‐speed video image analysis for different wave conditions of irregular waves and solitary waves. Characteristics of the cross‐shore sediment transport and morphology change are discussed from the laboratory experiment data. The inflection point, which marks the shifting turn in dune crest movement during overwash, is determined by analyzing feature points in the variation of dune geometry. It is confirmed that the overwash water volume rate reaches a maximum value when the inflection point occurs. Additionally, the overwash water volume is found to be linearly related to the deposited sediment volume, and the dune erosion volume is proportional to wave energy flux during the overwash process. The presence of secondary dunes is found to significantly alleviate coast erosion during overwash and reduce shoreline retreat by more than 40%, regardless of the height of the secondary dune crest. Furthermore, the advances and limitations in overwash hydrodynamics are discussed. It is recommended that this continuous morphological change monitoring data be combined with a wave resolution model for detailed hydrodynamic simulations to further understand the overwash process.

“…Windbreak fences are a common type of mechanical sand barrier used around coastal shores (Grafals‐Soto & Nordstrom, 2009) and sand dune areas (Miller et al, 2001). It is usually constructed along highways and railways (Dong et al, 2004; Dong et al, 2006; Shi et al, 2021) to intercept windborne sediments and control wind erosion (Li & Sherman, 2015).…”

Salix sand barriers have been widely used in arid and semi‐arid regions of northern China as an environmentally friendly approach to control wind erosion. However, the inherent variability in length and thickness of Salix branches complicates achieving the desired fence porosity, typically resulting in an error of approximately 10% or more. This defect affects the fence's wind protection, thereby limiting their broader application. To address these challenges, we conducted a field experiment in the Hobq Desert, where we established Salix fences with porosities of 23%, 37%, and 44%, and measured the airflow velocities around these fences. The results indicated that the fence with 37% porosity exhibited the most effective sheltering effect, providing a protection distance up to 7.14 times of the fence height. A total of 44% porosity fences are also reasonably effective for practical purposes. On the other end of the spectrum, fences with 23% porosity demonstrated a better sediment interception than its high porosity peers, achieving an interception rate of 81.46%. Therefore, we conclude that organic fences made from Salix branches can serve as efficient windbreaks. Our findings provide foundational data for the application of organic fences in arid and semi‐arid regions of northern China, and potentially similar environments globally.

“…These adjustments have a centuries-long history of use and have been subject to many investigations (e.g. Woodhouse, 1967;Schwendiman, 1977;Hotta et al, 1987Hotta et al, , 1991Skarregaard, 1989;Avis, 1995;Mendelssohn et al, 1991;Miller et al, 2001). The increasing need to overcome temporal and spatial constraints to natural dune building has placed emphasis on use of bulldozers to speed dune formation (Wells and McNinch, 1991;McNinch and Wells, 1992) and using hard cores within dunes that are not expected to survive for long (Nordstrom, 2014).…”
