← GeographyWhich consequence results when excessive irrigation saturates agricultural soils?
A)Accelerated mineral nutrient depletion✓
B)Increased organic matter stabilization
C)Enhanced nitrogen fixation rates
D)Reduced soil aggregate formation
💡 Explanation
Salinization and waterlogging increase, because excessive irrigation causes leaching, which dissolves and transports nutrients away from plant roots; therefore minerals deplete, rather than stabilize, or increasing nitrogen and aggregate formation which require different conditions.
