Which outcome occurs when acidic rainforest litter accumulates?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil acidity through pedogenesis via chelation liberates aluminum; because organic acids bind to aluminum ions, they become soluble, leading to elevated aluminum concentration. Therefore, it leaches through the topsoil, rather than increasing nutrient availability or decreasing decomposition rates in rainforest soils.
