← GeographyWhich alteration occurs when Antarctic soil bioturbation declines?
A)Reduced upper layer nutrient concentrations✓
B)Accelerated glacial ice crystal formation
C)Decreased permafrost methane release
D)Elevated surface albedo solar reflection
💡 Explanation
Reduced bioturbation diminishes the **mixing of organic matter** back into the upper soil layers, because less faunal activity prevents nutrient redistribution from decomposition; therefore, upper layer nutrient levels fall off, rather than accelerating or increasing methane production.
