自從金門的林木受到破壞後，風沙變得相當嚴重，不停往內陸吹進來，即所謂的風成沙，尤以東北風強勁的時候最甚。於是河道消失，留下一條帶狀的沙質溼地，以及寬約五公尺左右的前埔溪。沙地養分流失比較嚴重，其他植物難以生存，因此早期的金門食蟲植物分布相當廣泛。

 

Since the destruction of the forests in Kinmen, wind and sand have become quite severe, constantly blowing inland, a phenomenon known as "windblown sand," especially during strong northeast winds. As a result, the river channels disappeared, leaving behind a strip of sandy wetlands and a riverbed about five meters wide, known as the Qianpu Creek. The soil in sandy areas loses nutrients more quickly, making it difficult for other plants to survive. Therefore, the distribution of carnivorous plants in Kinmen was once widespread.
