Which outcome results when intense rainfall causes excess percolation?

💡 Explanation

Nutrient depletion occurs because leaching removes soluble organic matter and minerals from the A horizon, therefore soil fertility declines rather than accumulates, due to the percolation induced by rainfall carrying away chemicals.
