N2 - Plateau dunes are unique landforms which formed as erosion relicts in blow-out areas in Late Pleistocene sandydeposits. They are negative forms in contrast to normal dunes where sand is accumulated (positive form).Plateau dunes are located in the European Aeolian Sand Belt in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark and theyare flat-topped features with a bog in the central part often covered by a thin aeolian sand layer. A conceptualmodel of formation and further development of plateau dunes in time are presented in detail, using 14C dates ofburied peat layers and OSL dates of sandy sediments. Special focus is on the influence of climate factors, pedology,and human activity on the formation of plateau dunes.
