Which pedogenesis outcome occurs when soil saturation limits oxygen diffusion?

💡 Explanation

Gleying, a form of pedogenesis, occurs because oxygen diffusion is impeded, causing anaerobic conditions that reduce ferric ions to soluble ferrous ions, therefore causing a greyish/blueish color rather than other soil-forming processes such as calcification.
