pHympäristöissä
pHympäristöissä refers to the conditions and characteristics of specific environments as defined by their pH levels. pH, a measure of acidity or alkalinity, plays a critical role in determining the suitability of an environment for various life forms and chemical processes. Different organisms have evolved to thrive within narrow or broad pH ranges, making pH a key factor in ecological distribution and biodiversity. For instance, aquatic ecosystems like lakes and rivers can experience significant ecological shifts if their pH deviates from their natural range due to factors such as acid rain or pollution.
In terrestrial environments, soil pH influences nutrient availability for plants and the activity of soil microorganisms.
