Which long-term outcome results when intense boreal forest wildfires impact nutrient cycles?

💡 Explanation

In intense fires, the combustion of organic matter inhibits pedogenesis because it destroys the biomolecules necessary for soil creation; therefore, soil develops acidic conditions rather than developing through normal organic decomposition, rather than other consequences of fire.
