Which ecosystem change results when cave passages collapse, forming dolines?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface water infiltration occurs in cave ecosystems, because passage collapse causes dolines which facilitate rapid surface water intrusion bypassing soil filtration, rather than promoting speleothem deposition because carbonate equilibrium changes.
