pH affects biota by influencing enzyme activity, nutrient availability, and overall metabolic processes in organisms. Most aquatic and soil organisms thrive within specific pH ranges; deviations can lead to stress, reduced biodiversity, and shifts in community structure. For instance, a lower pH (acidic conditions) can harm fish and invertebrates, while higher pH (alkaline conditions) can affect plant nutrient uptake. Overall, pH plays a critical role in maintaining ecological balance and the health of ecosystems.
