← GeographyWhich consequence results when excessive earthworm activity impacts agricultural topsoil?
A)Reduced seedling emergence rates
B)Accelerated chemical pesticide degradation
C)Decreased soil aggregate stability✓
D)Limited nitrogen mineralization rates
💡 Explanation
Decreased soil aggregate stability occurs when excess bioturbation physically breaks down soil structure because earthworm castings have lower structural integrity; therefore topsoil becomes more vulnerable erosion, rather than benefiting seedling emergence or speeding pesticide breakdown.
