Salt marsh accretion changes which sediment characteristic via bioturbation?

💡 Explanation

Bioturbation enhances organic matter redistribution rate because burrowing organisms constantly rework the sediment layers, thereby altering decomposition and aeration; therefore organic matter, rather than mineral composition changes more rapidly.
