Which property increases with increased rates of pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Higher pedogenesis rates cause greater soil organic matter accumulation because biological activity accelerates the decomposition of surface litter, incorporation into soil layers, and humus formation. Therefore, more organic matter accumulates, rather than soil becoming depleted and reducing nutrient availability.
