← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when arid region soils experience limited plant growth?
A)Diminished nutrient cycling intensifies desertification✓
B)Reduced topsoil erosion decreases salinization
C)Enhanced oxidation mitigates argyrotoxism impacts
D)Increased weathering accelerates soil alkalinization
💡 Explanation
Diminished plant growth reduces organic matter input for pedogenesis because of limited bioturbation, therefore nutrient cycling decreases accelerating desertification, rather than enabling salinity reduction which requires different environmental mechanisms.
