Which outcome occurs when intense rainfall follows logging?

💡 Explanation

Nutrient depletion occurs because removal of trees exposes soil, increasing leaching; rainwater percolates removing soluble nutrients therefore concentrating dissolved minerals, rather than the alternatives which have unrelated mechanisms to deforestation and soil composition.
