Which process limits vegetation establishment during primary pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Nutrient immobilization limits vegetation because initial mineral weathering releases nutrients too slowly so the process of pedogenesis cannot support complex plant life; therefore, nutrient limitation restricts early colonization, rather than erosion, overgrazing oxidation, which influence established soils.
