Which risk increases when concentrated livestock farming accelerates soil acidification above subsurface limestone?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil acidity enhances chemical weathering, causing dissolution of limestone bedrock. This is because, in karst regions, dissolution is the key mechanism causing subsurface voids; therefore, sinkhole formation accelerates, rather than a competing effect such as soil stabilization.
