← GeographyWhich mechanical effect strongly accelerates soil horizon development via faunal activity?
A)Increased soil nutrients translocation✓
B)Decreased soil profile consistency
C)Reduced aggregate surface porosity
D)Enhanced clay particle stabilization
💡 Explanation
Increased nutrients results from bioturbation because burrowing organisms redistribute organic matter and minerals; therefore, soil horizons develop faster. This acceleration bypasses traditional weathering, rather than decreased soil consistency influenced by physical degradation.
