Abstract/Contents: | "Soils in the Pacific Northwest are extremely variable with respect to soil pH. Soils in western Washington, Oregon and British Columbia are highly weathered (leached) generally due to high rainfall during winter months. Through the process of weathering, calcium and magnesium which are supplied by lime are leached to deeper strata and the surface soil continues to increase in acidity. High rates of nitrogen can also increase the acidity through leaching of calcium. A large number of hydrogen ions are contributed from the breakdown of several nitrogenous compounds which cause this effect." Headings include: What does lime do for your soil and plants?, What determines the rate of reaction of lime in the soil?, Forms of lime, and Lime requirements for establishing turfgrasses. |
