← GeographyWhich pedologic outcome results with intense grassland bioturbation?
A)Enhanced soil horizon homogenization✓
B)Increased clay mineral formation
C)Accelerated nutrient eluviation rates
D)Diminished water infiltration capacity
💡 Explanation
Intense bioturbation by grassland fauna thoroughly mixes soil layers; the mechanism distributes components homogenously throughout all horizons. Therefore, stratification decreases, rather than increasing eluviation, clay formation, or reduced infiltration; these depend less on mixing.
