← GeographyWhich risk increases when soil consolidation inhibits bioturbation?
A)Accelerated organic matter accumulation✓
B)Decreased near-surface shear strength
C)Enhanced mineral nutrient availability
D)Increased water infiltration rates
💡 Explanation
Inhibited bioturbation reduces mixing, therefore organic matter accumulates because decomposition products cannot disperse. Nutrient cycling slows rather than intensifying, with decreased shear strength linked to excessive water, not inhibition of mixing.
