Which effect results from increased rainfall in lateritic soil?

💡 Explanation

Nutrient depletion will occur. Eluviation, a leaching process, removes essential nutrients from the A horizon because excessive rainfall mobilizes soluble compounds and transports them downward; therefore, nutrient availability decreases, rather than enhancement of soil properties.
