← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when hydraulic conductivity increases locally in soil?
A)Increased solute transport locally✓
B)Decreased carbon sequestration rates
C)Enhanced formation of clay minerals
D)Reduced regional surface water infiltration
💡 Explanation
Increased hydraulic conductivity enhances local solute transport, a process expedited by bioturbation, which creates macropores. This occurs because increased water flow pathways deliver weathering agents more effectively; therefore, solute mobility increases, rather than less transport.
