← GeographyWhich consequence results when groundwater lowers in wetlands?
A)Increased soil oxygen, decreased organic matter
B)Enhanced rate of chemical weathering
C)Decreased bioturbation from aquatic species✓
D)Reduced dissolution of carbonate minerals
💡 Explanation
Decreased ground water reduces aquatic species habitat; because these drive aquatic bioturbation activities, therefore, its reduction results in diminished soil mixing rather than increased weathering. Less bioturbation increases stratification because there's less physical transport of material between soil layers.
