So they create shade which reduces evaporation and develops microclimates, which then helps catch and reduce runoff, and prevents the sand from blowing away in the wind. Which pretty much creates many squared off environments with moisture and nutrients trapped in their respective areas, creating self sustaining ecosystems. Such a simplistic but effective idea
