← GeographyWhich consequence directly results when intense aridity limits 'bioturbation' in semi-arid soils?
A)Reduced soil horizon development rate✓
B)Increased soil organic matter decomposition
C)Accelerated chemical weathering of minerals
D)Enhanced soil aggregate stabilization rate
💡 Explanation
Reduced ‘bioturbation’ limits soil mixing because less activity from organisms prevents particle turnover. As a result, horizon stratification decreases therefore the rate of soil profile development declines, rather than accelerated weathering; those are effects of chemical reactions.
