Which long-term outcome follows increased carbonic acid dissolution during soil pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Increased carbonic acid levels results in enhanced chemical weathering releasing ions that facilitate clay translocation; this `eluviation` (leaching) process accelerates because it raises ion concentrations, therefore clay minerals migrate downward, rather than promoting soil stabilization.
