  2. Soil color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_color

    The reduced iron compounds cause poorly drained soil to appear gray or blue, and because reduced iron is soluble in water, it may be removed from the soil during prolonged saturation. This often exposes the light gray colors of bare silicate minerals, and soils with a low chroma from iron reduction or depletion are said to be gleyed .

  3. Soil acidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_acidification

    Likewise, acid rain that falls on soil and on plant leaves causes drying of the waxy leaf cuticle; which ultimately causes rapid water loss from the plant to the outside atmosphere and results in death of the plant. To see if a plant is being affected by soil acidification, one can closely observe the plant leaves.

  4. Ginger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger

    Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a flowering plant whose rhizome, ginger root or ginger, is widely used as a spice and a folk medicine. [2] It is an herbaceous perennial that grows annual pseudostems (false stems made of the rolled bases of leaves) about one meter tall, bearing narrow leaf blades.

  5. Soil pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_pH

    The pH is measured in soil-water (1:1) and soil-salt (1:2 ) solutions. For convenience, the pH is initially measured in water and then measured in CaCl 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {CaCl2}}} . With the addition of an equal volume of 0.02 M CaCl 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {CaCl2}}} to the soil suspension that was prepared for the water pH, the final soil ...

  6. Freshwater acidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_acidification

    Diagram depicting the sources and cycles of acid rain precipitation. Freshwater acidification occurs when acidic inputs enter a body of fresh water through the weathering of rocks, invasion of acidifying gas (e.g. carbon dioxide), or by the reduction of acid anions, like sulfate and nitrate within a lake, pond, or reservoir.

  8. Red soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_soil

    The soil liming process helps raise the pH of acidic soils. Because red soils are generally acidic, liming is a valuable farming technique that allows crops intolerant of acidic environments to thrive in red soil. However, modern research suggests that liming may have long-term environmental consequences on the soil.
