Which soil outcome results when deforestation accelerates the transport rate?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated deforestation enhances leaching; the elluviation (eluviation) transports dissolved/suspended soil constituents. Podzolization increases in wet, acidic environments, because reduced canopy interception increases water infiltration/acid deposition. Therefore, podzolization increases, rather than mineral accumulation, under high rainfall conditions.
