Which soil characteristic results when excessive hydrolysis occurs during pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Cation mobilization and soil acidification arise from excessive hydrolysis, a chemical weathering process acting in pedogenesis because water molecules split to form H+ ions that displace cations from mineral structures; therefore, a decrease in soil pH rather than clay increase results.
