Which outcome reduces fjord sediment oxygenation during stratification?

💡 Explanation

Increased bacterial respiration reduces oxygen because microbial decomposition consumes oxygen in the sediments undergoing bacterial respiration; therefore, oxygen diminishes in those fjords, rather than increasing from mixing or less direct sources of material.
