← GeographyWhich risk increases when significant bioturbation ceases within soil?
A)Reduced infiltration rates develop✓
B)Increased nitrogen fixation occurs
C)Accelerated silicate mineral weathering
D)Enhanced soil aggregate formation
💡 Explanation
Reduced bioturbation inhibits soil porosity created by organisms, therefore reduced infiltration rates develop, because it disrupts natural pedogenesis. Without disruption and mixing, compaction increases, rather than enhanced drainage caused by bioturbation.
