← GeographyWhich soil property alteration exemplifies accelerated pedogenesis under shifted climate regimes?
A)Increased clay content through illuviation✓
B)Decreased organic matter decomposition rates
C)Reduced calcium carbonate precipitation rates
D)Enhanced aeolian deposit stabilization on surfaces
💡 Explanation
Clay illuviation increases with wetter conditions because increased leaching carries clay particles downward; therefore, greater clay accumulation indicates accelerated pedogenesis. Decreased decomposition would slow, rather than accelerate transformations, under climate flux.
