← GeographyWhich limit is accelerated where deforestation precedes farming?
A)Pedogenesis rate limiting soil fertility✓
B)Capillary action limiting water availability
C)Oxidation affecting dissolved mineral content
D)Hydrolysis affecting climate stability
💡 Explanation
Accelerated deforestation will limit pedogenesis, because the decomposition of organic matter from plant debris is sharply stunted; therefore, topsoil formation decreases, limiting fertility, rather than influencing capillary effects or mineral oxidation.
