Which risk increases significantly when heavy pyroclastic flows bury temperate forests?

💡 Explanation

Lahars become highly probable due to the saturated ash mixing with heavy rainfall; this process is bulking. The unconsolidated pyroclastic debris and dead organic matter form a dense, mobile mixture, because rainfall mobilizes the unstable, porous terrain; therefore, lahar formation increases rather than carbon sequestration.
