← GeographyWhich outcome results when intense, long-term bioturbation affects a soil profile with volcanic horizons?
A)Enhanced nutrient translocation and profile homogenization✓
B)Accelerated clay mineral formation in subsoil
C)Higher water retention within distinct layers
D)Formation of cemented, impermeable hardpans
💡 Explanation
Intense bioturbation disrupts the distinct volcanic horizons because its mixing by organisms causes enhanced nutrient translocation and homogenization of soil properties therefore option A rather than distinct textural/chemical layers or soil cementation formations will occur.
