A summary of important chemical properties of soil is given and the way in which acid rain may affect these properties is discussed. Acid rain may suppress microbiological decomposition and nitrification processes, thus influencing the nutrient status of soils. It has also been found that soil organic matter is less soluble in more acid solutions. Changed nutrient availability patterns are predicted in a low pH environment and enhanced leaching of essential elements from the soil exchange complex has been observed. Increased solubility of potentially toxic elements such as aluminium may also occur from soils which have been exposed to acidified rainfall.
文中给出了土壤重要化学性质的总结，并讨论了酸雨可能影响这些性质的方式。酸雨可能会抑制微生物分解和硝化过程，从而影响土壤的养分状况。还发现土壤有机质在酸性更强的溶液中溶解度更低。预计在低pH环境中养分有效性模式会发生变化，并且已观察到土壤交换复合体中必需元素的淋溶增强。暴露于酸化降雨的土壤中，铝等潜在有毒元素的溶解度也可能增加。
