High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Blowouts are sandy depressions in a sand dune ecosystem (psammosere) caused by the removal of sediments by wind. Blowouts occur in partially vegetated dunefields or sandhills. A blowout forms when a patch of protective vegetation is lost, allowing strong winds to "blow out" sand and form a depression. Although they generally remain small, blowouts can expand to kilometers in size and up to around 70m in depth. Causes of vegetation loss include extended droughts, fire (natural and anthropogenic) or, in extreme cases, trampling by humans, cattle, horses, etc. Fire is the most common cause, however. In time, succession will begin again as suitable seeds are blown in and pioneers become re-established.
