← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when high acidity inhibits weathering and bioturbation?
A)Reduced horizon development in soils✓
B)Accelerated mechanical disaggregation of regolith
C)Increased nutrient availability for plants
D)Enhanced organic matter decomposition rates
💡 Explanation
Reduced soil acidity typically promotes weathering which aids bioturbation. The inhibition of bioturbation via high acidity slows physical mixing via soil fauna and flora; horizon delineation lessens because layers mix rather than differentiate; therefore, horizon development decreases, rather than others.
