Abstract
Recent studies have begun to explore the role of wrack in dune development, acting as a sediment trap, facilitating dune growth. Research demonstrates that beaches with natural wrack accumulation exhibit more developed dunes and better vegetation cover compared to those where wrack was removed. Despite these findings, there remains a gap in understanding how wrack influences the wind field and sediment deposition on a smaller scale.
