Which effect causes increased coastal erosion when vegetation is removed by storms or development?

💡 Explanation

When vegetation is removed, sediment stabilization decreases because roots no longer bind the soil particles, leading to higher erosion rates and less replacement through deposition. Therefore reduced sediment deposition results, rather groundwater infiltration increase, focused refraction, or longshore decrease, which would require different geo-physical configurations.
