Which risk increases when soil-forming processes exceed equilibrium?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated desert pavement formation occurs due to the increased *pedogenesis* surpassing erosion’s removal rate; because larger particles concentrate as smaller ones are removed causing desertification. Therefore, the resistant surface protects underlying soil, rather than improvements in water infiltration, which need soil diversity.
