← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when intense bioturbation disrupts established soil horizons?
A)Accelerated soil profile homogenization✓
B)Increased eluviation of clay particles
C)Reduced organic matter decomposition
D)Enhanced capillary water retention
💡 Explanation
Intense bioturbation mixes soil layers via faunal and floral activity leading to accelerated soil profile homogenization, because it physically redistributes soil components. This disrupts distinct horizon boundaries; therefore homogenization occurs, rather than horizon differentiation seen without this level of mixing.
