Which outcome occurs when intensive agriculture reduces soil's buffering capacity?

A)Accelerated clay mineral translocation downwards
B)Increased rates of chemical flocculation
C)Decreased susceptibility from wind erosion
D)Enhanced organic matter decomposition rates

💡 Explanation

Accelerated clay mineral translocation will transpire because increased acidity, caused when buffering is lost following acid rain and soil inputs, promotes colloid dispersion. This enhances its mobilization during leaching. Therefore, downward movement increases rather than flocculation, decomposition or altering erosion from mechanical effects.
