Which horizon characteristic indicates accelerated pedogenesis due to deciduous forest cover?

💡 Explanation

Increased deciduous leaf litter promotes enhanced weathering and leaching. Eluviation increases in the 'E' horizon through chelation because organic acids from decomposition increase the transport of iron and aluminum, therefore accelerating pedogenesis, rather than accumulation.

• Which soil property results when continuous water saturation arrests pedogenesis?
• Which consequence develops around playas undergoing intense ablation?
• Which consequence results when eustatic sea level rises rapidly behind a coastal barrier island system?
• Which outcome results when transform fault motion is impeded?
• Which outcome occurs on deltas with decreasing alluvial sediment supply?
• Which mechanism is most dominant immediately inland from an oceanic-continental subduction zone?
