Which outcome occurs when earthworm populations exceed soil's carrying capacity?

💡 Explanation

Increased earthworm activity beyond carrying capacity initially enhances bioturbation, but rapidly depletes surface organic matter exposing soil to erosion because excessive soil disturbance reduces soil cohesion; therefore, greater topsoil erodes, rather than increased soil fertility at those levels.
