Which outcome occurs when vegetation establishes on bare rock?

💡 Explanation

Vegetation accelerates pedogenesis because root systems’ physical and chemical weathering break down parent material; this biological activity develops soil horizons. Soil formation accelerates, rather than merely eroding or remaining inert and unchanged, because the root’s influence is critical.
