Which process sharply restricts nutrient availability specifically within deep fjord basins?

A)Sill-induced stratification
B)Wind-driven upwelling
C)Tidal current scouring
D)Riverine sediment deposition

💡 Explanation

Sill-induced stratification limits nutrient mixing because a raised sill restricts deep water exchange. This prevents oxygen replenishment, potentially leading to anoxia; therefore, nutrient cycling is drastically reduced, rather than enhanced by upwelling.
