← GeographyWhich agricultural outcome results from cyclical wind erosion of loess?
A)Decreased soil fertility downstream areas✓
B)Increased soil salinity near watersheds
C)Enhanced carbon sequestration stable humus
D)Reduced pesticide runoff into aquifers
💡 Explanation
Wind erosion selectively removes fertile topsoil and organic matter via **deflation**, because finer particles within loess are more susceptible. This reduces downstream soil fertility and crop productivity, rather than benefiting other regions via increased deposition.
