Answer:

Soils develop faster in warm, moist climates and slowest in cold or arid ones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Climate change can affect soil functions directly and indirectly. The direct effects include soil process changes in organic carbon transformations and nutrient cycling through altered moisture and T regimes in the soil or increased soil erosion rates due to an increased frequency of high‐intensity rainfall events.
