Which outcome occurs in subtropical stream ecosystems during periods of extensive atmospheric subsidence?

A)Nutrient upwelling into the water column
B)Increased streamflow and sediment transport
C)Reduced allochthonous organic matter input
D)Enhanced hyporheic zone exchange capacity

💡 Explanation

Reduced allochthonous inputs occur because extensive atmospheric subsidence suppresses precipitation, therefore leaf litter deposition decreases in stream riparian zones, rather than nutrient upwelling, which typically results from upwelling.
