Which pedogenic outcome is accelerated when saturated soil experiences bioturbation?

💡 Explanation

Horizon blending and increased permeability occurs because bioturbation by burrowing animals mixes soil layers. Soil organisms redistribute particles which enhances water infiltration; therefore blending occurs rather than distinct layering because particles become disorganized.
