Which outcome results from increased carbonic acid production during soil respiration in karst regions?

💡 Explanation

Increased carbonic acid enhances chemical weathering of limestone by increasing dissolution. This occurs because carbonate rocks react with carbonic acid, therefore forming wider networks of conduits and passages. Rather than B, C, or D, carbonate reactions influence karst features.
