← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when intense rainfall accelerate erosion in coastal wetlands?
A)Increased organic matter decomposition
B)Reduced soil profile pedogenesis✓
C)Enhanced nutrient stratification gradient
D)Accelerated mineral deposition rates
💡 Explanation
Reduced profile development happens because the removal of soil horizons exceeds soil formation due to accelerated erosion; this inhibits normal profile pedogenesis, therefore decreasing pedogenesis potential rather than aiding decomposition under stratified nutrients or increasing deposition.
