Effects of artificially-simulated acidification on potential soil nitrification activity and ammonia oxidizing microbial communities in greenhouse conditions [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Background Nitrification can lead to large quantities of nitrate leaching into the soil during vegetable production, which may result in soil acidification in a greenhouse system.

Assessment of the application of two amendments (lime and biochar) on the acidification and bioavailability of Ni in a Ni-contaminated agricultural soils of northern Colombia

Heliyon, 2022
Soil acidification and increased bioavailability of Ni are problems that affect agricultural soils. This study aims to compare the effects of both lime and biochar from corn stover in soil acidity correction, improving soil physicochemical properties and

Influence of Nitrogen Fertilizer Application on Soil Acidification Characteristics of Tea Plantations in Karst Areas of Southwest China

Agriculture, 2023
Nitrogen (N) fertilizer application is one of the causes of soil acidification at tea plantations. However, the effect of N fertilizer application on the soil acidification characteristics of tea plantations with different acidities remains unclear.

Plant functional traits modulate the effects of soil acidification on above- and belowground biomass [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Atmospheric sulfur (S) deposition has been increasingly recognized as a major driver of soil acidification. However, little is known about how soil acidification influences above- and belowground biomass by altering leaf and root traits. We conducted a 3-

Spatial variation of soil acidification in the karst area of northern Guangdong: A case in peak cluster depression and karst trough valley landforms

Carsologica Sinica, 2022
The process of soil acidification is very slow under the natural conditions, which generally takes decades or even hundreds of years. However, since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have greatly accelerated the process of soil acidification ...
