Which outcome results when deep-sea organisms enhance bioturbation?

💡 Explanation

Increased bioturbation enhances oxygen penetration within marine sediments because the mixing of particles by organisms increases pore water flushing and aerobic respiration; therefore, oxygen profiles deepen to greater depths, rather than causing anaerobic digestion, methane production or acid build-up.
