← GeographyWhich long-term effect increases when vegetation inhibits horizonation during pedogenesis?
A)Diminished soil nutrient stratification✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
C)Increased soil macropore development
D)Augmented clay mineral formation
💡 Explanation
Inhibition leads to less vertical transport during pedogenesis, therefore results in diminished soil nutrient stratification because bioturbation is reduced by a lack of differing root deposition; rather than accelerated weathering which needs horizonation to expose new mineral surfaces.
