Which effect intensifies when vegetation removal increases the rate of solifluction on permafrost slopes?

💡 Explanation

When vegetation is removed, solifluction rate increases because plant roots no longer stabilize the soil, leading to greater downslope soil movement, destabilizing structures. Therefore infrastructure destabilization intensifies, rather than decreased deposition, reduced flooding, or increased sequestration which require different soil characteristics.
