← GeographyWhich soil change results when burrowing worms increase?
A)Homogenized soil horizon mixture✓
B)Increased rate of mineral leaching
C)Slower organic matter decomposition
D)Reduced aggregate stability over time
💡 Explanation
Enhanced soil mixing happens because bioturbation describes displacement from living organisms. Soil organisms produce uniform layering by continual mixing; therefore, homogenized horizons, rather than differing layers exist, increase rather than decreased leaching or decomposition would result.
