Which outcome reduces water erosion when mountain terraces experience destabilization?

💡 Explanation

Slope destabilization accelerates soil erosion; however, vegetation's root matrix reinforcement holds the soil together because the roots bind soil particles. Therefore, vegetation cover reduces soil loss, rather than hydrophobicity increasing runoff potential.
