← GeographyWhich increased shallow soil horizon mixing results, when bioturbation intensity increases?
A)Reduced thermal soil conductivity
B)Enhanced horizon boundary definition
C)Accelerated mineral particle sorting
D)Decreased soil profile stratification✓
💡 Explanation
Greater bioturbation results in decreased soil profile stratification because biological activity causes mixing of soil horizons, thereby minimizing distinct layering, rather than enhancing it; therefore, soil becomes less layered rather than more layered.
