← GeographyWhich consequence results when increased acidity inhibits pedogenesis?
A)Redistribution of clay mineral formations
B)Decreased nutrient absorption by biota✓
C)Decomposition of organic soil content
D)Oxidation of reduced iron compounds
💡 Explanation
Reduced pedogenesis decreases nutrient availability because mineral weathering slows, decreasing ion release for plant uptake; therefore, decreased nutrient absorption occurs rather than the other three, which may naturally continue without soil generation.
