If the region with granite bedrock increased its soil organic matter to 5% through composting, what would most likely happen?

Increasing soil organic matter with compost would generally improve soil fertility by adding nutrients and helping the soil retain water. Those benefits would most likely increase crop yield. A 5% organic matter level does not by itself mean nutrients are excessive, the pH will become alkaline, or soil will erode more.
