Which outcome occurs when increased soil acidity inhibits nitrogenase?

💡 Explanation

Inhibiting nitrogenase, the key enzyme in nitrogen fixation, decreases biological nitrogen fixation in soil because the altered pH causes inactivation; therefore, less plant-available nitrogen results, rather than improved immunity or changes in phosphorus/carbon cycles.
