← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when elevated atmospheric nitrogen deposition disrupts coastal mangrove ecosystems?
A)Phosphorus limitation in plant growth✓
B)Increased carbon sequestration rates
C)Enhanced resistance to tidal flooding
D)Improved sediment stabilization by roots
💡 Explanation
Phosphorus limitation occurs because increased nitrogen favors biomass, leading increased P demand relative supply. This imbalances nutrient stoichiometry; therefore, the plants suffer P limitation growth limitation, rather than increased carbon storage due sediment stability
