Soil pH impacts nutrient access and microbial health

Soil pH is a critical factor influencing nutrient availability and microbial health in soil, with different ranges impacting specific elements and organisms. A pH below 6.0 can lead to phosphorus lock-up and hinder fungal growth, while a range of 6.2 to 6.8 is considered optimal for nutrient solubility and mycorrhizal activity. Conversely, pH levels above 7.0 can cause deficiencies in iron and manganese. AI
