Which outcome occurs when soil undergoes compaction around legume roots?

💡 Explanation

Compaction reduces root porosity, therefore hindering atmospheric nitrogen diffusion into specialized nodule structures occupied by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Because the oxygen supply decreases, symbiotic nitrogen fixation via the nitrogenase enzyme decreases, rather than increasing nutrient uptake.
