Which erosional outcome significantly reduces mangrove forest extent?

💡 Explanation

Intensified erosion from storms or rising sea levels causes barrier island migration landward via overwash; this inundates and destroys mangroves because sediment deposition elevates the island rather than supporting fragile root systems, therefore impacting species equilibrium.
