Which outcome results when limited oxygen inhibits bioturbation?

💡 Explanation

Anaerobic consolidation appears because oxygen starvation reduces bioturbation; earthworms and arthropods promote aerobic processes, increasing decomposition rates, thereby allowing sediment settling, rather than faster nutrient cycling, a different outgassing profile or increased oxidation.
