← GeographyWhich outcome directly increases when bioturbation intensifies in topsoil?
A)Enhanced nutrient cycling and decomposition✓
B)Decreased infiltration exceeding runoff rate
C)Reduced porosity, increasing soil compaction
D)Stabilized soil microaggregate formation
💡 Explanation
Enhanced nutrient availability results because bioturbation increases soil porosity, which improves aeration and water infiltration, and accelerates decomposition from increased access for soil organisms; therefore nutrients cycle faster rather than remaining locked in organic matter.
