← GeographyWhich process decreases soil fertility after windblown loess deposition?
A)Decreased soil horizon differentiation.✓
B)Increased cation exchange capacity.
C)Enhanced soil aggregate stability.
D)Accelerated organic matter decomposition.
💡 Explanation
Decreased soil fertility results from the homogenization of soil profiles via loess deposition because the mechanism of profile mixing inhibits horizon development. This means less developed soil structure therefore reduced nutrient stratification, rather than enhanced properties.
