How Lime Works Inactivates Soil Acidity
Lime neutralizes soil acidity by dissolving calcium carbonate to release calcium and carbonate. The carbonate binds excess hydrogen to form carbonic acid, which decomposes into carbon dioxide and water, removing acidity from the soil. Liming raises pH toward 6.5 to 7.0, boosting microbial activity and nutrient availability for crops. New York report notes 1967 civil disorders caused insured losses over $64 million.
