Which outcome occurs when soil invertebrate activity declines?

💡 Explanation

Reduced soil invertebrate population lowers bioturbation rates; this leads to reduced mixing. Therefore, soil horizon development becomes more stratified, rather than more uniform, because mixing is primarily promoted through bioturbation in that biome.
