e0“Peanut and sorghum seedlings were also grown in soil amended with AlCl 3 to simulate conditions where acid precipitation depresses soil pH to the Al neutralization range. Under these conditions there was a complete cessation of growth”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Acid precipitation at pH 2.5 containing sulfate and nitrate significantly increased seedling growth rate and dry weight.
- Intervention effect Omitting nitrate removed the shoot growth enhancement.
- Intervention effect With nitrate omitted, root growth was approximately 50% of control.
- Mechanism Growth cessation under aluminium amendment was attributed primarily to inhibited calcium uptake and translocation.
