The organic acids produced through root decomposition and organic matter cycling may also be partly responsible for the increase in soil Al concentrations at 5-10 cm depth, through the process of podzolisation; because the organic acid-Al complex is highly soluble, it facilitates the leaching of Al below the organic-rich 0-5 cm surface soil into the 5-10 cm depth increment.
