Which outcome arises when significant bioturbation hinders pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Diminished soil horizon differentiation occurs because bioturbation, which is soil mixing by organisms, intensely disrupt soil structure, thereby impeding the longer-term horizon development in pedogenesis. Therefore, distinct layers are less defined, rather than developing separate compositions under stable weathering.
