← GeographyWhich mechanism accelerates bluff retreat after vegetation removal?
A)Decreased soil cohesion by root systems✓
B)Increased surface albedo and insolation
C)Elevated riparian biodiversity of sediments
D)Reduced evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge
💡 Explanation
Wave action causes increased erosion because removing vegetation reduces soil cohesion stabilizing the soil; therefore, the bluff retreats rather than remaining stable due to the binding action of roots decreasing.
