Which outcome increases when burrowing earthworms accelerate bioturbation?

💡 Explanation

Erosion rates increase with bioturbation because increased soil loosening from earthworm activity weakens soil structure. This makes it more susceptible to raindrop impact and runoff, and therefore accelerates soil erosion, rather than any of the other options.
