Which effect results when acid rock drainage reduces amphibian activity in wetlands?

💡 Explanation

Reduced amphibian activity decreases bioturbation, hindering the mixing of peat layers; therefore stratification increases, because bioturbation is reduced, rather than increased sediment oxidation, which requires more dissolved oxygen.
