← GeographyWhich pattern develops when intense earthworm activity disturbs soil stratification?
A)Homogenized soil layer development✓
B)Accelerated clay mineral formation
C)Decreased carbon sequestration rates
D)Increased soil waterlogging risk
💡 Explanation
Consistent bioturbation from earthworms induces soil horizons to blend together leading to homogenized topsoil, because earthworm activity mixes organic and mineral matter. Therefore, stratification declines substantially rather than clay formation, waterlogging or affecting carbon sequestration.
