Which outcome is observed when heavy rainfall accelerates leaching in heavily logged tropical rainforests?

💡 Explanation

Increased aluminum toxicity is linked to more leaching of silica because the breakdown of organic matter leads to the release of aluminum. Therefore, increased rainfall accelerates soil acidification and aluminum dissolution rather than phosphorus increases under depleted forest cover.
