← GeographyWhich 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.
