← GeographyWhich mechanism accelerates soil horizon mixing in grasslands?
A)Enhanced bioturbation from burrowing animals✓
B)Increased chemical weathering of bedrock
C)Cryoturbation from seasonal freeze-thaw
D)Leaching of clay particles by water
💡 Explanation
Bioturbation, involving soil displacement via organisms, mixes soil layers, because tunneling increases aeration and organic matter distribution; therefore horizons blend more rapidly rather than remaining distinct layers as through leaching alone.
