← GeographyWhich result is amplified by increased bioturbation rate?
A)Enhanced topsoil horizon carbon sequestration✓
B)Glacial till lithification under pressure
C)Decreased aeolian dust deposition feedback
D)Accelerated chemical weathering of bedrock
💡 Explanation
Increased invertebrate activity enhances pedogenesis and mixing of organic matter accelerating carbon cycling; therefore, topsoil carbon sequestration is enhanced because bioturbation incorporates surface organic matter deeper in the soil profile, rather than causing lithification.
