← GeographyWhich outcome complicates agricultural production when intense seasonal rainfall accelerates pedogenesis?
A)Rapid topsoil nutrient profile leaching✓
B)Increased buffering of soil salinity
C)Enhanced aggregation of clay particles
D)Reduced soil erosion rates overall
💡 Explanation
Enhanced rainfall leads to greater water movement through the soil profile, accelerating leaching because eluviation increases with water flow; therefore, rapid nutrient loss happens, rather than salinity buffering or reduced erosion.
