Which outcome increases when soil parent material weathers in poorly-drained areas?

💡 Explanation

Intensified gleization occurs because anaerobic conditions slow decomposition, therefore iron is reduced to mobile forms causing a bluish-gray color rather than accumulating iron oxides, like in laterization under well-drained conditions.
