fertilisers and acid rain
A soil is acidic because there are compounds within it which dissolve in water to form an acid. An acid is defined as a substance which readily gives out protons to oter molecules. An alkali is the converse, in that it is a proton acceptor and readily takes on protons. Treating an acidic soil with an alkali would neutralise the soil, and so the soil would become less acidic. If enough alkali is added, the soil will become neutral, and it will become alkaline if even more alkali is added.
To increase the pH level in the soil so that the soil does not become too acidic.
Acidic
yes it is acidic
Because it acidic soil releases metals (ve ions) into the soil making the it toxic.
Garden soils will gradually become acidic as the rain that falls is slightly acidic and most fertilisers are also.
It is either naturally acidic or the rocks and minerals around it make it become acidic. This can be harmful to plants.

Yes, soil may be acidic. This can provide both benefits and dangers
urmoma doesnt grow in acidic soil
Many plants do not do as well in acidic soil. The lime makes the soil less acidic, or even basic.
NO It does not. Taiga has a very acidic soil, and its recognized by its coniferous forests.
