Which soil development is delayed when acidic bedrock limits weathering?

💡 Explanation

Extensive pedogenesis requires continuous influx of weathered material; chemical weathering from acidic bedrock is slow; therefore horizon formation is gradual, rather than expedited, as it affects the entire development process.
