Which consequence results when excessive subsurface water flows inhibit bioturbation?

💡 Explanation

Inhibited bioturbation limits soil mixing, because it restricts the organisms which promote it; therefore, horizons become more distinct rather than blending, and chemical weathering is unaffected, where drainage may also decrease due to inhibited mixing.
