← GeographyWhich result occurs when increased acidity inhibits bioturbation?
A)Decreased aggregate stability ensues rapidly✓
B)Enhanced nutrient cycling accelerates unusually
C)Greater soil porosity quickly develops
D)Increased organic matter decomposition occurs
💡 Explanation
Reduced bioturbation causes decreased aggregate stability because burrowing organisms no longer physically mix and stabilize the soil; therefore, soil becomes more susceptible to erosion and compaction rather than maintaining structure via other mechanisms.
