Two derivative parameters, the consumption of hydrogen ions by the soil and theacidtolerant limit as defined as the quantity of sulfuric acid required to bring the soil to PH 3.5 in a 0.00lmolLi￣(-1) Ca(NO_3)_2 solution, were used. The sensitivity of variable charge soils was higher than that of constantcharge soils, due to the predominance of kaolinite in clay mineralogical composition. Among these soils thesensitivity was generally of the order lateritic red soil >red soil >latosol. For a given type of soil within thesame region the sensitivity was affected by parent material, due to differences in clay minerals and texture.The sensitivity of surface soil may be lower or higher than that of subsoil, depending on whether organicmatter or texture plays the dominant role in determining the buffering capacity. Paddy soils consnmedmore acid within lower range of acid input when compared with upland soils, due to the presence of moreexchangeable bases, but consumed less acid within higher acid input range, caused by the decrease in claycontent.展开更多
