Sep 17, 2018 0183 32 If the two nitrate ions were taken up by a plant, two of the hydrogen ions would bind with hydroxide ions released from the plant, leaving one hydrogen ion contributing to soil acidity If the two nitrate ions leached away from the root zone, all three hydrogen ions would remain to contribute to soil acidity...
Jun 24, 2016 0183 32 Introduction The pH of agricultural soils is almost always measured in water, although 001 m calcium chloride is sometimes used for research purposes eg Blake et al, 1999 because it simulates the soil solution better than waterUK agricultural soils usually have a pH in water of between 5 unlimed mineral soils and 75 chalky or limestone soils...
