Which landscape effect increases post-deforestation where loess dominates?

💡 Explanation

Deforestation removes the vegetative cover, therefore soil aggregation decreases via decreased root structures, exposing loosely-packed loess to the 'deflation' mechanism. This enhances wind erosion of the topsoil because the loess lacks cohesive strength, rather than changes in sediment, water, or humidity.
