Which pedogenic effect follows enhanced chemical weathering by increased acidity?

A)Accelerated soil horizon profile development
B)Reduced rate surface soil eluviation
C)Decreased subsoil clay mineral formation
D)Stabilized organic matter decomposition rate

💡 Explanation

Increased acidity promotes faster mineral dissolution; this chemical weathering accelerates soil formation through horizon differentiation because leaching and translocation of minerals increase. Profile development accelerates, rather than slowing it, therefore eluviation would likely increase with acidity.
