Which outcome occurs when vegetation removal precedes loess deposition?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion happens because the mechanical interlock of roots, named 'mechanical stabilization', is disrupted, leading to increased wind and water erosion that entrains loess deposits; therefore, soil is lost, rather than stabilized as plant cover is absent.
