Which outcome limits rain infiltration in compacted soil?

💡 Explanation

Reduced rain infiltration is caused by limiting soil macropores via reduced bioturbation (burrowing animals), because the increased compaction decreases routes for water flow. Therefore the water cannot pass through the soil efficiently, rather than flowing through a developed macropore system.
