Which risk increases when acidic rainfall enhances mineral leaching?

💡 Explanation

Reduced soil nutrient availability occurs because acid rain promotes hydrolysis leaching; this strips essential ions (Ca, Mg, K) from the topsoil. Therefore, nutrient concentrations decline, rather than increased carbon storage or soil stability, which require different processes.
