Which outcome results when vegetation cover is removed, triggering increased frequency of deflation events on loess deposits?

A)Reduced global silicate weathering rates
B)Accelerated landscape desertification and erosion
C)Increased carbon sequestration in soils
D)Improved filtration/retention freshwater aquifers

💡 Explanation

Accelerated landscape desertification and erosion occurs because the *Aeolian Transport* of fine-grained loess becomes easier without vegetative anchoring. Therefore, massive erosion events accelerate, rather than carbon sequestration because of sediment loss.
