Which consequence results when groundwater calcium carbonate saturation increases during seasonal pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Increased calcium carbonate saturation promotes precipitation and cementation during pedogenesis, thus caliche accelerates upwards. This is driven by carbonate precipitation, rather than increased aggregation, bioturbation, or organic matter breakdown, because it is directly tied to CaCO3 solubility.
