← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when arid grassland experiences accelerated pedogenesis?
A)Increased clay mineral formation horizons✓
B)Substantial reduction in soil pH
C)Decreased soil aggregate stability
D)Enhanced nutrient leaching process
💡 Explanation
Accelerated pedogenesis in grasslands increases weathering, forming more clay minerals. This results in clay accumulation in the soil horizons because clays are products of weathering, creating organized horizons rather than leaching or pH change therefore A occurs.
