Which risk increases when exposed coastal peat bogs experience lowered vegetation density?

💡 Explanation

Peat bogs commonly experience erosion via wave scouring because reduced vegetation density weakens binding capacity of peat soils. Therefore, erosion accelerates with less vegetation due to hydraulic action causing destabilization and breakdown, rather than deposition or bacterial activity.
