Which outcome related to soil nutrients occurs during loess deposition?

A)Increased soil cation exchange capacity
B)Accelerated chemical weathering processes
C)Reduced water infiltration soil rates
D)Decreased organic matter decomposition

💡 Explanation

Loess enriches soil because windblown silt undergoes **mineral aggregation**, thereby increasing the surface area of soil particles that can hold nutrient cations; therefore, the soil quality improves rather than experiencing other options' outcomes under different circumstances.
