← GeographyWhich outcome results when vegetation cover is removed, triggering increased frequency of deflation events on loess deposits?
A)Reduced global silicate weathering rates
B)Accelerated landscape desertification and erosion✓
C)Increased carbon sequestration in soils
D)Improved filtration/retention freshwater aquifers
💡 Explanation
Accelerated landscape desertification and erosion occurs because the *Aeolian Transport* of fine-grained loess becomes easier without vegetative anchoring. Therefore, massive erosion events accelerate, rather than carbon sequestration because of sediment loss.
