Which outcome is expedited when barrier island vegetation removal occurs?

A)Increased overwash sediment transport
B)Decreased tidal prism equilibrium
C)Stabilized estuarine salinity stratification
D)Reduced aeolian dune formation rates

💡 Explanation

Increased overwash sediment transport happens because the removal of vegetation reduces surface roughness and binding, facilitating greater sediment transport during storm surges due to decreased friction; therefore, overwash increases rather than dune formation, tidal equilibrium, or salinity changes.
