A)Reduced soil thermal regulation✓
B)Increased nitrogen fixation rates
C)Enhanced water nutrient retention
D)Greater biodiversity surface stability

Reduced vegetation cover causes greater soil temperature fluctuation because diminished insulation reduces soil's thermal capacitance; therefore overnight, soil temperature plummets resulting in frost damage, rather than maintaining consistent profiles.
