Which outcome occurs when Antarctic krill populations decline significantly?

💡 Explanation

Changes in krill abundance alter the rate of bioturbation; sediment reworking decreases because less krill disturb the seabed. Therefore, larger, more stable, sedimentary structures form, rather than a constantly mixed seafloor where small organisms redistribute particles.
