Which process inhibits soil pedogenesis where permafrost prevents drainage?

💡 Explanation

Cryoturbation inhibits pedogenesis because permafrost prevents downward drainage, therefore soil horizons do not develop fully due to continual freeze-thaw mixing, rather than leaching or enhanced plant growth, which require liquid water flow.
