Which outcome increases when constructed river levees cause channel incision?

💡 Explanation

Increased channel incision from levees leads to a steeper hydraulic gradient, fostering faster coastal wetland erosion via increased flow velocity downstream, because the river's energy and sediment are transported farther. Therefore erosion accelerates, rather than decreased sedimentation, which would occur in a depositional environment.
