← GeographyWhich consequence results when intense bioturbation ceases in prairie soils?
A)Increased frequency of peat bog formation
B)Reduced downward leaching of soil carbonates✓
C)Elevated pH levels within the topsoil
D)Accelerated podzolization of the soil profile
💡 Explanation
Reduced bioturbation decreases mixing and aeration, impairing the diffusion of dissolved ions; therefore, downward leaching is limited, rather than accelerated, because bioturbation facilitates physical nutrient transport.
