Dear friends, I am beginning to research vegetation ecology on coastal sandy dune ecosystems in northeastern Brazil and would like to ask you about ideas on how to measure the disturbance regime of such habitats.
In our region dunes are fixed by shrubs, sometimes by trees, sometimes herbs only. I guess that the main disturbance factors are burial by sand transportation and drought. Do anyone know how to measure sand transportation by wind? Any other ideas or references? Thank you very much in advance, Alexandre Dr. Alexandre F.
