← GeographyWhich outcome arises when significant ashfall buries boreal forests?
A)Increased surface albedo and cooling✓
B)Amplified net primary productivity rates
C)Elevated forest fire frequency cycle
D)Accelerated decomposition lowering soil acidity
💡 Explanation
Increased albedo occurs due to ash deposition obscuring vegetation; this is because the albedo effect involves increased reflection of solar radiation back intospace. Therefore, cooling occurs, rather than increased wildfires from tephra acting as fuel.
