← GeographyWhich risk commonly develops in heavily bioturbated soil horizons?
A)Increased slope instability and landslides✓
B)Reduced water infiltration and ponding
C)Decreased heavy-metal sequestration in clays
D)Elevated soil pH levels and calcification
💡 Explanation
Increased bioturbation destabilizes soil structure due to burrowing animals disrupting cohesion via burrow network formation; therefore, this results in weaker soil susceptible to collapse, rather than increased clay surface, water infiltration, or directly altering soil pH.
