Which outcome occurs when increased aridity reduces dust deposition vegetation?

💡 Explanation

Increased aridity reduces vegetation cover which normally stabilizes loess deposits; soil profile erosion accelerates due to decreased cohesion via wind deflation, rather than stabilizing the soil or increasing carbon storage because vegetation normally binds soil components. Deflation removes the finer particles.
