← GeographyWhich outcome arises in wetland environments during pedogenesis?
A)Accumulation of reduced iron compounds✓
B)Enhanced eluviation of clay particles
C)Increased soil aggregate stability
D)Extensive calcium carbonate precipitation
💡 Explanation
The accumulation of reduced iron compounds occurs because anaerobic conditions favor the activity of iron-reducing bacteria during pedogenesis, preventing oxidation; therefore, iron accumulates in reduced forms rather than forming oxidized minerals, unlike drier soil pedogenesis.
