Which process diminishes habitat when oxbow lakes silt?

💡 Explanation

Terrestrialization increases locally when oxbow lakes fill with sediment, because vegetative succession accelerates the transformation of aquatic habitats into terrestrial biomes, therefore reducing the open water suitable for aquatic species rather than altering salinity or methane production.
