Resumen

The development and evolution of coastal sandy systems is governed by a fragile dynamic balance between the interaction of multiple environmental factors, and therefore these natural systems are highly sensitive to human disturbances. These alterations are accentuated in the current context of Global Change. Changes in winds, waves, storminess, sand availability and vegetation play a crucial role in the complex development of dunes, both by trapping the sand that forms the dunes and protecting them from erosion. Currently, many of the dune ecosystems are degraded mainly due to the deficit of sediment inputs and the pressure on vegetation cover, phenomena that are always closely related to anthropogenic impact. The natural development of dune systems, including their vegetation, contributes significantly to buffering the destructive effects of extreme weather events, which have increased during the current period of Global Change. Thus, coastal dunes represent a valuable natural heritage that must be preserved. Here we present a review of the state of the art and a synthesis of factors and processes to achieve a new approach related to the coastal management. In turn, this article argues for a management that does not interrupt the geomorphological processes involved in the natural development of the dune ecosystem, which are the main support of dune biodiversity. Thus, in the medium and long term, a management that respects the geological dynamics of the dunes will promote both the maintenance of biodiversity and the conservation of the coastal landscape and its ecosystem services.
