The phrase "acidification of soils" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to environmental science, agriculture, or soil chemistry, particularly when addressing the process by which soils become more acidic.
Example: "The acidification of soils can lead to decreased crop yields and negatively impact soil health."
Alternatives: "soil acidification" or "increased soil acidity".
Finally, the observed acidification of soils with fertilizer application will also contribute to metal solubilisation.
The role of forestry in acidification of soils and surface waters under historic and contemporary acidic deposition was assessed using a process-based soil hydrogeochemical model incorporating Bayesian calibration and uncertainty propagation.
When forest productivity drops, a social consequence is the human abandonment of the affected territories, usually linked to the effect of a progressive acidification of soils [5].
It is also linked to the release of nitric oxide and ammonia, which contribute to acid rain and the acidification of soils and drainage systems (Mosier and Kroeze, 1998).
Whilst some soils are naturally acid, there has been accelerated acidification of soils under legume pastures, both in temperate (e.g. Williams, 1980; Ridley, Helyar and Slattery, 1990) and in tropical areas (Noble, Cannon and Muller, 1997).
These substances are linked to acidification of soil and water, as well as potential respiratory illnesses in people.
Acidification of soil Hypo was prevented when ≥ 30 g kg− 1 Wb was added.
Not surprisingly, such high nitrogen inputs can easily induce excess residual nitrogen and acidification of soil; both influence the nitrogen cycle of tea fields in which a great deal of nitrogenous gases are produced (Jumadi et al. 2008; Zhu et al. 2014).
Livestock is also associated with environmental pollution due to ammonia (NH3) emissions from manure and urine, leading to nitrification and acidification of soil [5].
The Strategy I (all higher plants except grasses) relies on improvement of Fe uptake through acidification of soil solution by excretion of protons via a plasmalemma P-type ATPase resulting in an increased Fe solubility, reduction of Fe3+ to the more soluble Fe2+ by a FeIII-chelate reductase and plasmalemma transport of Fe2+ by the activity of a Fe transporter [ 3].
