which compound can upset the chemical nature of the soil by making it highly acidic or highly alkline?
Answers
Answer:
Soils tend to become acidic as a result of:
(1) rainwater leaching away basic ions (calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium)
(2) carbon dioxide from decomposing organic matter and root respiration dissolving in soil water to form a weak organic acid
(3) formation of strong organic and inorganic acids, such as nitric
Soils may be alkaline due to over-liming acidic soils. Also, alkaline irrigation waters may cause soil alkalinity and this is treatable, but alkaline soils are primarily caused by a calcium carbonate-rich parent material weathering (developing) in an arid or dry environment
Answer:
fertilizer
Explanation:
fertilizer is a human made salt or an inorganic compound it is very rich in nutrients like nitrogen phosphorus and potassium it is soluble in water and can be readily and directly absorbed by the plants and it is quick to full fill the needs of the nutrients deficiency in the soil it is concentrated and hence is required in a small quantities.
