Which alteration to soil structure from flooding reduces oxygen?

💡 Explanation

Decreased porosity limits drainage because water saturation prevents oxygen diffusion, altering aerobic processes through the mechanism of soil compaction; therefore, porosity reduction diminishes oxygen, rather than increased bioturbation facilitating aeration.
