摘　　要：Dune barrier systems represent highly sought-after coastal landscapes for tourism and urban development around the world.However,a century ago,they were considered hazardous environments due to their great dynamic nature.As a result,stabilization practices were considered necessary.The systematic introduction of fast-growing exotic trees helped stabilize the sand,making it easier for tourism urbanization to take place,but also leading to erosion processes.This paper aims to assess long-term changes in vegetation cover over a large temperate barrier in Argentina.This complex region includes urban resorts,afforestation zones,and protected areas.A GIS-based geospatial analysis was conducted using a large satellite database(>350 images),and the future evolution of the vegetation was modeled.The results revealed two primary spatiotemporal patterns associated with a gradual expansion of vegetation cover,accompanied by a concurrent reduction in sandy areas.In 1986,the dune area comprised 75%more surface than vegetation,whereas in 2021,it represented 60%less than vegetation.Furthermore,the 2050 scenario suggests a potential 40%reduction of dunes in certain areas.It is necessary to enhance management actions aimed at maintaining dune mobility and ensuring local and regional sediment balance.Long-term management strategies must focus on restoring native plant communities and controlling invasive species,and avoiding new dune fixation initiatives based on the introduction of exotic species.
