← Nature & AnimalsWhich constraint limits nitrogen delivery to plant roots under waterlogged soil conditions?
A)Inhibition of nitrogenase enzyme activity✓
B)Increased rate of nitrification by bacteria
C)Enhanced efficiency vascular transport
D)Reduced mycorrhizal symbiosis carbon transfer
💡 Explanation
Waterlogged soil leads to anaerobic conditions, hindering nitrogen fixation because the nitrogenase enzyme is highly sensitive to oxygen; therefore, nitrogenase enzyme activity is inhibited, which limits nitrogen availability, rather than enhancing nitrification processes.
