acid rain decrease the fertility of the soil give reason of this answer
Answers
Answer:
Scientists believe that acidic water dissolves the nutrients and helpful minerals in the soil and then washes them away before the trees and other plants can use them to grow. At the same time, the acid rain causes the release of toxic substances such as aluminum into the soil.
Explanation:
Soil fertility decline
Soil fertility decline occurs when the quantities of nutrients removed from the soil in harvested products exceed the quantities of nutrients being applied.
In this situation, the nutrient requirements of the crop are met from soil reserves until these reserves cannot meet crop demands. This results in a reduction of plant growth and yield.
The loss of organic matter mainly occurs through continuous cropping with stubble removal or burning, and is accelerated by frequent tillage.
In all agricultural systems, nutrients are removed over time in harvested products, such as grain.
