Which outcome occurs when groundwater fluctuations inhibit bioturbation?

💡 Explanation

Decreased groundwater flux prevents burrowing animals mixing soil layers through bioturbation; because the mixing action is reduced, horizon differentiation increases; therefore distinct layering becomes more apparent, rather than homogeneous soil profiles caused by organic activity.
