← GeographyWhich soil trait variance occurs following accelerated pedogenesis?
A)Increased clay translocation via eluviation✓
B)Decreased oxidation of iron compounds
C)Higher organic carbon accumulation rate
D)Reduced quartz grain weathering speed
💡 Explanation
Increased clay eluviation occurs as a result of intensive pedogenesis in surface horizons, because increased weathering and leaching cause finer particles to be actively transported downward; therefore eluviation increases significantly rather than decreases in other situations.
