When you think acidic soil, think trees. Acidic soil is very well-rotted wood and leaves of trees. Trees love this recycled tree material, if you will. Think of starting fruit trees and evergreens for food, beauty and carbon dioxide reduction, and of course, oxygen production ( natural air filtering ).

How does acid rain increase the acidity of soil?

Acid rain contains sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which react with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid. When acid rain falls to the ground, it decreases the soil pH by releasing hydrogen ions, making the soil more acidic. This can be harmful to plants and soil organisms.

What type of soil do plants not grow well in?

Very few plants will grow in heavy clay soil and not many will grow in sand. Plants need organic material in the soil to enable the roots to penetrate and to nourish the plants, so the more humus soil contains, the better most plants will grow. Plants also do not thrive in very acid or highly alkaline soil. Most plants prefer neutral or slightly acid pH. Sne45: I think clay-like soil, nor do I think plants in sand can grow.
