Which outcome occurs when intense weathering inhibits pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated nutrient depletion occurs because excessive weathering breaks down minerals too rapidly, disrupting nutrient cycling. This process outweighs organic matter input, therefore results in a barren soil, rather than fertile soil with balanced pedogenesis.
