  Turbulent plasma flow, amplified by rapid 3D compression, can be suddenly
dissipated under continuing compression. This effect relies on the sensitivity
of the plasma viscosity to the temperature, $\mu \sim T^{5/2}$. The plasma
viscosity is also sensitive to the plasma ionization state. We show that the
sudden dissipation phenomenon may be prevented when the plasma ionization state
increases during compression, and demonstrate the regime of net viscosity
dependence on compression where sudden dissipation is guaranteed. Additionally,
it is shown that, compared to cases with no ionization, ionization during
compression is associated with larger increases in turbulent energy, and can
make the difference between growing and decreasing turbulent energy.
