← GeographyWhich outcome concerning soil composition occurs adjacent to desert ventifact formation?

B)Increased concentration of clay minerals
C)Elevated fungal network development
D)Uniform manganese nodule distribution

Reduced soil moisture occurs because wind abrasion, the primary formation mechanism for ventifacts, removes fine particles and organic matter, therefore decreasing water retention, rather than leading to increased clay or fungal growth.
