The usual method of estimating the pH of a soil by immediately determining the hydrogen ion concentration (or activity) of. a 1:3 soil-water suspension has been shown by Pierre (l) to give approximately the pH of the soil solution. However, if the soil-water suspension is allowed to stand or. is stirred-for a period of time, will such treatment influence its pH value? Also, what will be the influence of varying the soluble a-It content?
