← GeographyWhich consequence results when reducing soil organism diversity?
A)Decreased nutrient stratification efficiency✓
B)Increased mineral weathering rate
C)Elevated cation exchange capacity
D)Greater soil structural stability
💡 Explanation
Reduced soil organism diversity decreases bioturbation, which mixes and aerates the soil; because the lack of this natural cultivation diminishes nutrient stratification efficiency. Therefore, nutrient gradient maintenance is worsened, rather than enhancing cation exchange, weathering or providing structural benefits.
