← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome is caused by limited soil aeration?
A)Inhibited nitrogen fixation efficiency✓
B)Increased root uptake of phosphorus
C)Enhanced mycorrhizal network spread
D)Accelerated decomposition of cellulose
💡 Explanation
Inefficient soil aeration limits oxygen; therefore anaerobic conditions arise, inhibiting nitrogen fixation because the nitrogenase complexes, crucial for the process, are highly sensitive to oxygen toxicity, rather than promoting phosphorus uptake.
