Which outcome occurs along prevailing wind pathways when vegetation removal destabilizes dune systems?

💡 Explanation

Loess formation accelerates when vegetation removal leads to increased wind erosion, thus promoting the long-range transport and subsequent **deflation** deposit of fine-grained sediments. Therefore, loess deposits form, rather than a change in weathering, recharge, or sediment delivery.
