Soil acidification and the liming potential of biochar
Soil acidification in managed ecosystems such as agricultural lands principally results from the increased releasing of protons (H+) from the transformation reactions of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S) containing compounds. The incorporation of liming materials can neutralize the protons released, hence reducing soil acidity and its adverse ...

Global soil acidification impacts on belowground processes
With continuous nitrogen (N) enrichment and sulfur (S) deposition, soil acidification has accelerated and become a global environmental issue. However, a full understanding of the general pattern of ecosystem belowground processes in response to soil ...

Isotopic exchangeability reveals that soil phosphate is mobilised by carboxylate anions, whereas acidification had the reverse effect [PDF]
Mineral P is an increasingly scarce resource, and therefore the mobilisation of legacy soil P must be optimised to maintain soil fertility. We have used isotopic exchangeability to probe the lability of native soil P in four contrasting soils following ...

A global analysis of soil acidification caused by nitrogen addition
Nitrogen (N) deposition-induced soil acidification has become a global problem. However, the response patterns of soil acidification to N addition and the underlying mechanisms remain far from clear.

Status and influential factors of soil nutrients and acidification in Chinese tea plantations: a meta-analysis [PDF]
Knowledge of the status and influential factors of soil nutrients including soil organic matter (SOM), nitrogen (N), potassium (K), phosphorus (P), and acidification is the basis for sustainable management of tea plantations and thus the sustainability ...

Soil acidification and salinity: the importance of biochar application to agricultural soils. [PDF]
Soil acidity is a serious problem in agricultural lands as it directly affects the soil, crop production, and human health. Soil acidification in agricultural lands occurs due to the release of protons (H+) from the transforming reactions of various carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur-containing compounds.

Soil acidification as a limiting factor to agricultural production in the municipality of Ljubovija [PDF]
The process of soil acidification means, above all, a reduction of soil solution pH. It can be the result of slow, years-long natural process or considerably accelerated due to a combination of natural processes and anthropogenic influences ...

The role of soils in the regulation of ocean acidification [PDF]
Abstract Soils play an important role in mediating chemical weathering reactions and carbon transfer from the land to the ocean. Proposals to increase the contribution of alkalinity to the oceans through ‘enhanced weathering’ as a means to help prevent climate change are gaining increasing attention.

Modelling long-term impacts of fertilization and liming on soil acidification at Rothamsted experimental station [PDF]
Liming is widely used to reduce the impacts of soil acidification and optimize soil pH for agricultural production. Whether models can simulate the effect of liming on soil pH, and base saturation (BS), and thereby guide lime application, is still ...
