In waterlogged soil conditions, which outcome impacts plant diversity when specialized bacteria are affected?

💡 Explanation

Lowered soil oxygen inhibits nitrogen fixation performed by anaerobic bacteria; because available nitrogen decreases, plant diversity is negatively affected. Therefore inhibited nitrogen fixation decreases biodiversity, rather than promoting nutrient uptake or enhancing decomposition processes.
