Which outcome accelerates leaching by rainfall in loess deposits?

💡 Explanation

Reduced vegetal organic matter in loess accelerates leaching because chelation, a chemical weathering mechanism, becomes less effective, therefore nutrients are more easily washed away, rather than being retained by organic compounds.
