← GeographyWhich outcome contributes the most when earthworm populations flourish and soil is compacted by grazing animals?
A)Enhanced soil nutrients dispersion✓
B)Increased soil water retention
C)Reduced organic matter decomposition
D)Minimized topsoil erosion rates
💡 Explanation
Enhanced nutrients dispersion happens because the soil experiences increased bioturbation as worms redistribute organic matter and relieve compaction; therefore topsoil nutrients become readily available to plants, rather than remaining stratified in layers.
