You conduct an experiment to compare the nitrogen cycle in soils with and without non-native earthworms.Predict the results of your experiment.
A)The soils with earthworms will have a faster rate of nitrogen fixation.
B)The soils with earthworms will have a faster rate of ammonification.
C)The soils with earthworms will have a slower rate of denitrification.
D)The soils with earthworms will have a slower rate of nitrification.
