Which outcome results when organic matter accumulates during soil pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced cation exchange occurs because humification, a form of pedogenesis, increases the surface area and negative charge in soil colloids via organic compounds; therefore, enhanced ion retention results, rather than lower stability or albedo changes.
