Which outcome occurs when vegetation removal accelerates erosion rates in an alluvial plain used for grazing?

A)Increased sediment suspension load
B)Decreased hydraulic conductivity rate
C)Expanded riparian zone habitat
D)Diminished groundwater infiltration volume

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment suspension load develops, triggered by accelerated erosion caused by vegetation removal because the entrainment mechanism increases the volume of unconsolidated sediment available for transport; therefore, greater pollution, rather than habitat improvements, results under these conditions.
