Which consequence results when the removal of vegetation from sandy barrier islands accelerates?

A)Increased aeolian transport of sediment
B)Heightened rates of isostatic rebound
C)Decreased albedo and warming effect
D)Expanded biodiversity of marine ecosystems

💡 Explanation

Increased removal of vegetation destabilizes the dunes, initiating increased aeolian transport, because the physical barrier of roots diminishes; therefore sediment is removed, rather than remaining stabilized or supporting primary succession impacts.
