← GeographyWhich feedback cycle influences soil horizon development during enhanced bioturbation?
A)Increased oxygen, promoting ferrous oxidation✓
B)Decreased porosity, retaining clay particles
C)Reduced organic matter, slowing humification
D)Stratified layers, limiting nutrient diffusion
💡 Explanation
Increased bioturbation enhances aeration, which accelerates weathering via oxidation; this is a positive feedback because "bioturbation" mixes soil, increasing oxygen exposure. Therefore, oxidation is favored over processes limited by low oxygen, rather than porosity reduction.
