Which consequence results when tephra deposition buries forests?

💡 Explanation

Peat formation increases vastly, because anaerobic conditions and compression are induced by tephra burial; this process causes the chemical transformation of plant matter into peat then lignite forming fuel seams, rather than immediate decomposition or carbon sequestration.
