Which consequence results when increased acidity disrupts bacterial nitrogen fixation?

💡 Explanation

Disruption of bacterial nitrogen fixation impairs their reduction of atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia because acidification inhibits the enzyme nitrogenase; therefore, ammonia availability decreases and causes decline for primary producers, rather than accelerating denitrification or affecting phosphorus.
