← GeographyWhich horizon-forming outcome intensifies with increased cryoturbation in tundra soils?
A)Increased organic matter translocation✓
B)Decreased mineral aggregate stability
C)Accelerated chemical silicate weathering
D)Enhanced capillary fringe development
💡 Explanation
Intensified cryoturbation accelerates organic matter translocation within the soil profile because freeze-thaw cycles churn layers into new formations via pedogenesis. Therefore, options A; rather than B,C,D, which cryogenic action impedes due water displacement that reduces chemical effectiveness by volumetric reduction.
