← GeographyWhich outcome results from reduced bioturbation during soil pedogenesis?
A)Decreased mixing of organic matter✓
B)Amplified chemical weathering processes
C)Increased rate of nutrient cycling
D)Enhanced soil horizon homogenization
💡 Explanation
Reduced bioturbation decreases organism mixing, so soil organic matter forms a distinct layer rather than mixing; therefore, organic matter accumulates on the surface, rather than distributing throughout the soil profile, because mechanical mixing diminishes.
