Which environmental consequence arises when concentrated agricultural runoff accelerates limestone dissolution?

A)Nutrient release induces coastal eutrophication
B)Increased sediment clogs underground aquifers
C)Reduced salinity harms mangrove ecosystems
D)Enhanced carbon sequestration offsets emissions

💡 Explanation

Accelerated dissolution releases phosphate from phosphate-rich limestone deposits because the increased acidity from runoff mineralization drives mineral weathering, therefore high phosphate levels in rivers cause unwanted enrichment downstream rather than carbon reduction under the sea.
