Which 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.
