← GeographyWhich pedogenic outcome is accelerated when saturated soil experiences bioturbation?
A)Horizon blending and increased permeability✓
B)Oxidation and reduced soil alkalinity
C)Capillary action decreasing structural stability
D)Illuviation creating dense clay layers
💡 Explanation
Horizon blending and increased permeability occurs because bioturbation by burrowing animals mixes soil layers. Soil organisms redistribute particles which enhances water infiltration; therefore blending occurs rather than distinct layering because particles become disorganized.
