← GeographyWhich outcome changes the texture of topsoil when earthworms accelerate decomposition?
A)Homogenized particle size distribution✓
B)Increased clay mineral content
C)Decreased organic matter porosity
D)Elevated water table infiltration rate
💡 Explanation
Bioturbation by earthworms accelerates organic breakdown and soil mixing, thus leading to a more homogenized particle distribution in the topsoil due to physical reworking by ingestion; therefore this answer rather than option B which involves mineral alteration.
