The Concept Cartoons in this PDF resource explore many aspects of sand dune ecology. Many of the Concept Cartoons relate to science, but they also connect to other areas of the curriculum including geography.

sand dune formation
-
sand dune erosion and repair
-
indigenous flora and ecological succession
-
interdependence of species.
