Which outcome occurs when intense bioturbation disrupts established soil horizons?

💡 Explanation

Intense bioturbation mixes soil layers via faunal and floral activity leading to accelerated soil profile homogenization, because it physically redistributes soil components. This disrupts distinct horizon boundaries; therefore homogenization occurs, rather than horizon differentiation seen without this level of mixing.

• Which horizon development occurs as clay minerals migrate?
• Which outcome results when basal sliding accelerates in cirques?
• Under which conditions does iron translocation accelerate during soil pedogenesis?
• Which geomorphic outcome occurs when warming temperatures trigger seasonal thaw cycles in permafrost regions?
• Which mechanism causes preferential sediment deposition on the uphill side of a fault-controlled alluvial fan?
