← GeographyWhich effect results when acid rock drainage reduces amphibian activity in wetlands?
A)Decreased seed dispersal of hydrophytes
B)Increased stratification of peat deposits✓
C)Accelerated oxidation of submerged sediment
D)Enhanced stabilization of humic substances
💡 Explanation
Reduced amphibian activity decreases bioturbation, hindering the mixing of peat layers; therefore stratification increases, because bioturbation is reduced, rather than increased sediment oxidation, which requires more dissolved oxygen.
