← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates erosion after vegetation removal on barrier islands?
A)Increased sediment saltation rates
B)Decreased freshwater lens stability
C)Amplified aeolian transport capacity✓
D)Enhanced groundwater intrusion rates
💡 Explanation
Amplified aeolian transport capacity increases because vegetation stabilizes sand; therefore, wind can more easily erode island material, rather than remaining trapped by plant structures with less transport capacity to exposed surface.
