← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when earthworm populations facilitate bioturbation in topsoil?
A)Increased rate of soil erosion
B)Enhanced soil aggregate development✓
C)Decreased nutrient availability to plants
D)Reduced carbon sequestration potential
💡 Explanation
Bioturbation by earthworms mixes soil, benefiting aggregate formation because their burrowing creates stable pore structures enhancing soil structure; therefore, aggregation happens, rather than increased erosion (選項A ), altered nutrient levels(С), or inhibited sequestration (D).
