Which landscape change accelerates when bioturbation diminishes in tundra?

💡 Explanation

Reduced bioturbation limits soil mixing, increasing temperature penetration that melts permafrost because less insulative soil exists; therefore, thawing and sinking accelerates, rather than cryoturbation which requires periodic freezing.
