← GeographyWhich agricultural outcome increases after widespread loess deposition?
A)Enhanced soil nutrient availability✓
B)Elevated risk of topsoil erosion
C)Decreased water infiltration rates
D)Greater pesticide runoff concentration
💡 Explanation
After loess deposition, soil nutrient availability increases because loess is often rich in minerals, providing essential elements for plant growth; therefore, this leads to improved soil fertility rather than erosion, decreased infiltration, or higher runoff, which represent negative impacts.
