← GeographyWhich consequence results when subsoil bioturbation inhibits argilluviation?
A)Reduced soil horizon development✓
B)Increased soil organic matter
C)Enhanced nutrient translocation
D)Decreased weathering rates
💡 Explanation
Reduced soil horizon development results because impeded argilluviation decreases clay movement between horizons. Bioturbation usually facilitates clay translocation; therefore, restricted movement leads to less distinct layering, rather than changes in soil organic matter processes.
