Which outcome is promoted due soil's clay rich B-horizon nearing saturation?

💡 Explanation

Increased moisture facilitates anaerobic processes, triggering intense microbial activity using terminal electron acceptors during anaerobic microbial respiration. This is because the moisture limits oxygen, therefore it becomes dominant, rather than aerobic activity, which requires oxygen to be present.
