Detailed explanation-1: -A large chemical company disposes of its toxic chemical waste in a landfill, where the toxic chemical waste slowly leaks into the soil. Which result will most likely occur because of the toxic chemical leak into the soil? The soil’s fertility will decrease.
Detailed explanation-2: -Deficiencies of major plant nutrients often occur in acidic soil because nutrients are less available to plants. The availability of nutrients to plants is altered by soil pH (Figure 5).
Detailed explanation-3: -Nitrogen Fertilizers This increases soil acidity unless the plant directly absorbs the ammonium ions. The greater the nitrogen fertilization rate, the greater the soil acidification. As ammonium is converted to nitrate in the soil (nitrification), H ions are released.
