← GeographyWhich soil consequence results when topsoil nutrient leaching exceeds pedogenesis processes?
A)Soil acidification and reduced fertility✓
B)Enhanced carbon sequestration in subsoil
C)Increased clay formation in topsoil
D)Elevated soil pH and salinity levels
💡 Explanation
Soil acidification happens because leaching removes alkaline cations faster than weathering replaces them, therefore reducing buffering capacity and soil fertility, rather than increasing pH or sequestering new subsoil carbon.
