In the eаrly yeаrs оf the 20th century there were lush stаnds оf tall grasses in the valley оn the east side of the Chiricahua Mountains in Arizona, stretching to Mexico on the south and New Mexico on the east. Dramatic summer rainstorms dumped huge amounts of water, very quickly, on the rocky upper slopes. The water ran down the slopes and into the grasslands, where it quickly soaked into the soft, porous soil where prairie dogs were active. Cattle ranching was in full swing, utilizing the rich grasses, but the ranchers did not appreciate the multitudes of prairie dogs that lived in the grasslands. Prairie dogs constantly dig through soil, making new burrows and eating grasses, roots and all. It was commonly believed that cattle would stumble in the prairie dog holes, break legs, and die of starvation. In addition, many ranchers were convinced that the prairie dogs would destroy the grasses because they directly competed with the cattle for food. The ranchers had already done away with most predators that might possibly affect cattle, and now they turned their attention to the prairie dogs. The ranchers became a part of a new federally sponsored movement to poison the grassland prairie dogs. This movement took root and spread through the 1920s and 1930s. Once the prairie dogs were poisoned and no longer a part of the ecosystem, which of the following probably occurred? A) Soils slowly became looser because of the cattle, so soil moisture increased. B) Soils slowly compacted because of the cattle, decreasing infiltration of moisture into the soil. C) Soils slowly became looser because of the cattle, so fewer nutrients were recycled. D) Soils slowly compacted because of the cattle, increasing infiltration of moisture into the soil. E) Soils slowly became looser because of the cattle, decreasing infiltration of moisture into the soil.
