Which long-term outcome is most directly influenced by pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Localized topographic feature formation depends on differing rates of erosion due to varying soil properties; pedogenesis (soil formation) directly influences these properties through weathering and bioturbation because it affects soil cohesion near the surface, therefore influencing erosion patterns, rather than atmospheric forces.
