Best Answer

A low pH is an acidic pH. It can do many things:

* Impact the ionic balance to the soil. In clay this destroys the soil structure * Leach nutrients out of the soil and allow them to flow down out of reach f the plant roots * Dissolve metals from the soil and make them available for absorption into the plant * Drive away sil organisms which are symbiotic with the plant * Change the osmotic pressure of the groundwater

Does acidic soil have low or high pH levels?

Acidic Soil has a low pH . Remember the pH scale. 1 ( very acidic) ,, to 7 (neutral) ,, to 14 (very alkaline). Farmers often put lime on acidic soil in order to remove the acidity. As per the equation. 2H^+(aq) + Ca(OH)2(s) = Ca^(2+)(aq) + 2H2O(l) It should be noted that plants prefer acidic conditions, and other prefer more neutral/alkaline conditions.
