Soil acidification is a significant concern in agriculture and horticulture. It refers to the process of the soil becoming more acidic over time.
Nitrogen-containing fertilizers can cause soil acidification when added. This may lead to decrease in nutrient availability which may be offset by liming. These fertilizers release ammonium or nitrate ions, which can acidify the soil as they undergo chemical reactions.
