Which consequence results when the removal of vegetation from sandy barrier islands accelerates?

💡 Explanation

Increased removal of vegetation destabilizes the dunes, initiating increased aeolian transport, because the physical barrier of roots diminishes; therefore sediment is removed, rather than remaining stabilized or supporting primary succession impacts.
