← Nature & AnimalsWhich ecological consequence arises when specific soil bacteria decline?
A)Decreased atmospheric nitrogen inputs occur✓
B)Increased phosphorus mineralization by fungi
C)Accelerated decomposition rates predominate soil
D)Enhanced mycorrhizal nutrient uptake develops
💡 Explanation
When soil bacteria die, there is a decline in nitrogen fixation. Atmospheric inputs reduce because the bacteria that convert gaseous nitrogen into usable forms are diminished; therefore, less nitrogen becomes biologically available, rather than any change in other elemental cycles under alternative deficiencies.
