Which constraint causes stunted aridisol development during pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient moisture limits chemical reactions necessary for soil horizon formation during pedogenesis. This hinders horizon differentiation because a lack of water slows weathering; therefore aridisol development is stunted, rather than proceeding through complete transformation phases.
