Which outcome occurs in fjord ecosystems because intensified glacial melting?

💡 Explanation

Increased glacial meltwater intensifies the halocline due to decreased salinity, therefore increased stratified water-column stability reduces vertical mixing rather than promoting oxygen replenishment. Stratification increases because significant volumes of fresh water flow on top of salt water.
