Which outcome occurs when bioturbation decreases within wetlands?

💡 Explanation

Decreased bioturbation reduces mixing and aeration; therefore, anaerobic decomposition rates rise, because less oxygen penetrates the soil; rather than soil horizons developing, anaerobic byproducts accumulate and further inhibit invertebrate life.
