← ScienceWhich consequence results when elevated soil acidity impedes nutrient uptake?
A)Poor nitrate and phosphate absorption✓
B)Enhanced chelation of soil particles
C)Increased nitrogen fixation efficiency
D)Stimulated mineralization of organic matter
💡 Explanation
Acidity increases soil's concentration of aluminum ions, disrupting ionic bonding within nutrient compounds, and therefore limiting plant uptake of nitrates and phosphates dissolved in soil, rather than enhancing chelation or stimulating mineralization, which require different conditions.
