Which profile change accelerates when deforestation exceeds infiltration?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface runoff erodes profiles undergoing earlier pedogenesis because decreased vegetative cover removes soil stability. Biogeochemical weathering becomes subordinate; therefore, removal outpaces soil formation acceleration of erosion; rather than groundwater changes.
