Which outcome from construction lowers ecosystem carbon sequestration?

💡 Explanation

Reduced soil bioturbation via habitat destruction decreases soil respiration of organic matter, thereby weakening established carbon sinks, because burrowing organisms like earthworms increase soil aeration and nutrient turnover; therefore the reduced carbon sinking, rather than enhanced carbon uptake.
