← GeographyWhich long-term outcome results when boreal pedogenesis experiences increasing temperatures?
A)Enhanced eluviation of organic matter
B)Accelerated illuviation of clay minerals
C)Decreased podzolization within soil profiles✓
D)Reduced mineral weathering rates overall
💡 Explanation
Decreased podzolization occurs because higher temperatures alter biochemical weathering during pedogenesis; decomposition accelerates, limiting raw humus formation. Therefore, there is less organic acid available to chelate iron and aluminum, rather than increased leaching.
