← GeographyWhich outcome reduces floodplain biodiversity following levee construction?
A)Decreased lateral channel migration✓
B)Augmented sediment deposition rate
C)Increased hyporheic zone exchange
D)Elevated nutrient dispersal efficiency
💡 Explanation
Biodiversity falls because decreased lateral channel migration limits habitat diversity typically created by the river's natural movement, therefore reducing varied ecosystems, rather than enhancing with more constant sediment.
