Which risk increases for cave ecosystems when nearby agricultural irrigation raises groundwater tables?

A)Increased bacterial nutrient transport into caves
B)Decreased rates of speleothem formation
C)Reduced cave air temperature stability
D)Greater reliance on surface water influx

💡 Explanation

Increased bacterial transport rises because groundwater table change causes bacterial mobilization via advection. This contaminates cave ecosystems, therefore bacterial input increases, rather than decreased speleothem formation from stable conditions.
