Which outcome increases proportionally with substantial bioturbation in temperate grasslands?

A)Enhanced nutrient-mineral profile stratification
B)Accelerated organic matter decomposition
C)Increased clay particle accumulation below
D)Decreased soil macroporosity and aeration

💡 Explanation

Accelerated organic matter decomposition occurs because bioturbation by earthworms and other organisms increases soil aeration and mixing via pedogenesis; therefore, microbial activity increases, rather than distinct horizon separation because the organic material is turned over.
