← GeographyWhich ecological outcome results when widespread loess soil deposition reduces mineral diversity?
A)Reduced plant community resilience✓
B)Increased rate of biome succession
C)Amplified topsoil microbial complexity
D)Enhanced nitrogen cycle throughput
💡 Explanation
Reduced mineral diversity during loess deposition decreases plant nutrient availability; because of resource imbalances, the plant community's ability to withstand disturbances (Wind Erosion) weakens. Therefore, plant community resilience is reduced, rather than heightened, like succession or nutrient cycling.
