Which outcome accelerates topsoil development via Antarctic cryoturbation?

A)Increased nitrogen fixation by cryofauna
B)Deposition of loess-derived nutrient material
C)Enhanced physical weathering from ice lenses
D)Greater chemical reaction kinetic rates

💡 Explanation

Increased nitrogen fixation results when cryofauna enhance topsoil development via bioturbation; this enhances nutrient mixing and availability needed by plants when seasonal melts occur because nutrients can be taken up easier, therefore enabling faster, rather than just physical changes from weathering.
