← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome arises when anaerobic conditions inhibit ammonium assimilation in flooded soil?
A)Promoted denitrification lowers nitrate production✓
B)Declining plant growth impacts root vitality
C)Nitrogen fixation increases significantly anyway
D)Elevated toxicity from sulfide accumulation occurs promptly
💡 Explanation
In flooded soils, anaerobic conditions suppress ammonium assimilation, because alternative mechanisms of nitrogen cycling favour denitrification driven by bacteria; therefore enhanced denitrification reduces nitrate production, rather than allowing normal plant growth regardless.
