Which risk increases when tropical rainforest soil loses vegetation?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated laterization by pedogenesis occurs because the loss of vegetation allows increased solar radiation and rainfall directly on the exposed soil; therefore rapid weathering and leaching happen, which converts minerals to oxides near the surface, rather than gradual change.
