the gale force event was substantial across the beach and foredune despite the moderate vegetation cover and minimum fetch. It is shown that strong storm winds are an effective mechanism for translating sediment landwards across a high vegetated foredune

in grazing pressure and tree felling from the early 1960s onwards after 200 years of these activities, and fires. In the 1960s tree planting also took place. During the period 1963 to 1970 there was a marked decline in drift potential (DP – potential sand
transport), and then a period of very low DPs (1970-1974). This period falls within the time interval when vegetation cover significantly increased by ~70% along the Moçambique barrier (from 1956 to 1978). During the 1960s to present, the rainfall increased

behavior appear to be related to changes in wind regime and the vegetation cover of the interdune area, as a result of increased rainfall in recent years. This study demonstrates the dynamic nature of the tip of this dune and its sensitivity to changes

The aim of this study was to measure under natural rainfall conditions the effects of 3 shrub covers (Colutea arborescens, Dorycnium pentaphyllum and Medicago strasseri) on runoff and soil loss. Plots were created and runoff discharge and sediment
