The lowest reduction in soil pH in all sampling periods was recorded in plots received 10 t ha−1 chicken manure.
However, a reduction in soil pH was observed in 2009 as compared with the soil pH in 2008.
We measured soil pH with a pH meter (PHSJ-3F, Shanghai Jingke Company).
"I looked at the effects of soil pH on molting success.
Results showed long-term monoculture decreased soil pH and organic matter content and increased soil EC.
You could buy a soil pH meter to find out what is happening.
Ash generally increases soil pH through base addition.
We determined soil pH using 15 g of ground soil in 30 ml of distilled water.
However, this response is strongly moderated by soil pH; W. nobilis growth is significantly enhanced on low-pH soils.
We found no significant correlation between soil properties and fungal abundance and richness (% organic carbon in soil, % nitrogen in soil, pH of soil, % sand in soil, % silt in soil, or % clay in soil).
Hydrated lime: Raises soil pH greatly.
