Which outcome results when intense weathering impacts regolith pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated weathering breaks down organic compounds faster; intensified leaching diminishes the ability to build organic matter. Pedogenesis slows because the humification process is unable to deposit complex matter, therefore reducing overall organic accumulations rather than enhanced soil fertility formation.
