Which process inhibits primary succession after extensive pyroclastic flow?

A)Nutrient leaching from sterilized soil
B)Rapid plant and species diversification
C)Enhanced moisture retention of the terrain
D)Increased frequency of small-scale disturbances

💡 Explanation

Nutrient leaching inhibits succession because high heat sterilizes soil during pyroclastic flow, removing organic matter through volatilization and oxidation, therefore delaying recovery of vegetation, rather than initiating faster cycles via successive species replacing each other.
