← GeographyWhich process accelerates soil horizon mixing when earthworm populations increase?

B)Enhanced surface water tension
C)Accelerated mineral oxidation rate
D)Depleted clay lattice swelling

Soil horizons mix faster due to bioturbation by earthworms because soil aggregates are dispersed by their burrowing and castings, therefore decreasing soil stratification, rather than these other strictly chemical or hydrological processes.
