Processes of acidification or alkalization of soils are treated,
taking the qualitative changes in soil chemistry into
consideration. Following a theoretical background of ecosystem
proton budgets, the application for assessing external and internal
acid loads are demonstrated. The chemistry of organic matter and
the oxides of aluminum, iron, and manganese are treated in the
context of being sources and sinks for acid loads in soils. Special
attention is payed to the assessment of solubility and reaction
kinetics of aluminous minerals. The formation of toxic elements in
soil solution resulting from the solubilization of inorganic oxides
as well as aspects of changes in the nutrient status of soils,
changes of fertility and processes leading to a transfer of acidity
from soils to surface are discussed.
