Which outcome occurs when agricultural soil experiences excessive water infiltration?

💡 Explanation

Nutrient depletion occurs through eluviation (a type of leaching) because water carries dissolved minerals downwards, therefore the upper soil loses fertility rather than gains cation capacity; the transport destabilizes aggregated soil; it also increases the potential for waterlogging if drainage is poor.
