Is the NH4+-induced growth inhibition caused by the NH4+ form of the nitrogen source or by soil acidification?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Soil acidification often occurs when the concentration of ammonium (NH4+) in soil rises, such as that observed in farmland. Both soil acidification and excess NH4+ have serious adverse effects on crop growth and food production.
