Clay leaching do not affect pH
The optimum pH for pectinase is 4, if the ph goes either above or below this the pectinase becomes denatured
-Decreased pH -Increased Temperature -Increased Pco2
in eluviation the mineral particles are generally carried downwards the surface while on contrast illuviation is a leaching process where such minerals are brought to the surface, they are both leaching processes
In healthy subjects the mean PCO2 fall 18 mm Hg from the baseline and mean PO2 rise 7 mmHg
sand because, sand ranges in size from .2 cm in diameter to .006 cm in diameter and clay's largest diameter is .0004 cm in diameter.
Compacted clay soil is fairly impermeable to leaching.
Leaching can negatively affect soil by washing away essential nutrients and minerals, leading to soil degradation and reduced fertility. It can also contribute to water pollution as the leached nutrients may enter water bodies and cause eutrophication. Additionally, leaching can alter soil pH and affect the balance of microorganisms in the soil.
by dissolving in it
Leaching affects soil by it removes some minerals on horizon A and moves it down to horizon B.
Rain, wind, and climate all affect the weathering and leaching of soils.

Clay soil can vary in pH; it can be acidic, neutral, or alkaline depending on the location and composition of the soil. It is important to test the soil's pH to accurately determine its acidity or alkalinity.
Some disadvantages of leaching include the potential for environmental contamination by leached chemicals, depletion of nutrients in soils, and alteration of the soil's pH balance. Additionally, leaching can lead to the loss of essential minerals and nutrients from the soil, impacting plant growth and vitality.
Pepsin doesn't affect the pH but it is active in an acidic environment.
It will raise the pH.
Hi in answer to the question there are a few answers as clay loams have a different pH depending on what they are being used for. For grass, clayloam has a recommended pH of between 6.0 and 6.2 and on arable land for crops etc between 6.5 and 6.7 however depending on what has been spread or added to the clay loam can effect its pH dramatically. Hope this helps a little
Clay is a material with a significant number of ionic particles in its make-up. The addition of a low pH material like acid rain alters these balances and destroys the structure of the clay. In addition the low pH materials interact with carbonates in the clay to create carbon dioxide, and allow it to escape from the soil.
