Which outcome occurs when groundwater salinity inhibits deep bioturbation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced bioturbation prevents salt redistribution due to inhibited organism activity; surface accumulation increases, therefore a salt crust forms because capillary action draws saline water upwards rather than uniform distribution throughout the soil profile.
