2. Soil pH - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_pH

   With the addition of an equal volume of 0.02 M to the soil suspension that was prepared for the water pH, the final soil-solution ratio is 1:2 0.01 M . A 20-g soil sample is mixed with 20 mL of reverse osmosis (RO) water (1:1 w:v) with occasional stirring.

3. Soil acidification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_acidification

   Soil acidification is the buildup of hydrogen cations, which reduces the soil pH. Chemically, this happens when a proton donor gets added to the soil. The donor can be an acid, such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, or carbonic acid. It can also be a compound such as aluminium sulfate, which reacts in the soil to release protons.

4. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

   The specific heat of pure water is ~ 1 calorie per gram, the specific heat of dry soil is ~ 0.2 calories per gram, hence, the specific heat of wet soil is ~ 0.2 to 1 calories per gram (0.8 to 4.2 kJ per kilogram). [90] Also, a tremendous energy (~584 cal/g or 2442 kJ/kg at 25 °C) is required to evaporate water (known as the heat of ...

6. pH - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

   The measurement of pH can become difficult at extremely acidic or alkaline conditions, such as below pH 2.5 (ca. 0.003 mol/dm 3 acid) or above pH 10.5 (above ca. 0.0003 mol/dm 3 alkaline). This is due to the breakdown of the Nernst equation in such conditions when using a glass electrode.

   [25] [26] The standard FIFA football pitch for international matches is 105 m (344 ft) long by 68 m (223 ft) wide (7,140 m 2 or 0.714 ha or 1.76 acres); FIFA allows for a variance of up to 5 m (16.4 ft) in length in either direction and 7 m (23.0 ft) more or 4 m (13.1 ft) less in width (and larger departures if the pitch is not used for ...

8. Soil fertility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_fertility

   Topsoil or horizon O is with sufficient soil organic matter for healthy soil structure and soil moisture retention; Soil pH in the range 5.5 to 7.0 (suitable for most plants but some prefer or tolerate more acid or alkaline conditions); Adequate concentrations of essential plant nutrients in plant-available forms;

9. Soil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil

   Most soils have a dry bulk density (density of soil taking into account voids when dry) between 1.1 and 1.6 g/cm 3, though the soil particle density is much higher, in the range of 2.6 to 2.7 g/cm 3. [7] Little of the soil of planet Earth is older than the Pleistocene and none is older than the Cenozoic, [8] although fossilized soils are ...
