← GeographyWhich long-term outcome accelerates when pedogenesis limits organic matter?
A)Increased surface erosion rates greatly✓
B)Enhanced carbon sequestration processes
C)Declining mineral weathering steadily
D)Accelerated soil horizon differentiation
💡 Explanation
Increased erosion occurs because absent organic matter diminishes soil cohesion via bioturbation; therefore soil particles detach easier, causing surface erosion, rather than enhanced differentiation because it disrupts profile development.
