Following glacial retreat, which pedogenesis outcome influences soil composition?

💡 Explanation

Increased nutrient cycling follows glacial retreat because aeolian deposition introduces fine mineral particles and organic matter, facilitating soil development via pedogenesis through that input, rather than primarily glacial weathering or specific climatic conditions. Therefore, aeolian material improves soil rather than strictly altering existing profiles.
