← GeographyWhich feedback occurs when vegetation disturbance increases dune mobility?
A)Increased albedo decreases surface temperature
B)Eolian transport exposes leeward vegetation✓
C)Water infiltration compacts subsurface layers
D)Saltating grains bury windward vegetation
💡 Explanation
Loss of vegetation causes further erosion via positive feedback because vegetation reduces wind speed and stabilizes sand. Therefore, eolian transport will increase, exposing yet more vegetation, rather than allowing stabilization by burial or albedo changes.
