Which outcome results due to increased soil acidity inhibiting pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Reduced clay mineral formation will occur because soil acidity alters weathering pathways, inhibiting the hydrolysis component of pedogenesis, therefore hindering the transformation of primary minerals to secondary clay minerals, rather than enhancing it.
