"Soil chemistry is the study of the chemical characteristics of soil."
The study of chemical properties of soil such as soil pH, cation exchange capacity, and nutrient availability, and how they affect soil processes such as plant growth, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration.
"Soil chemistry is affected by mineral composition, organic matter, and environmental factors."
"In the early 1870s, a consulting chemist to the Royal Agricultural Society in England, named J. Thomas Way, performed many experiments on how soils exchange ions, and is considered the father of soil chemistry."
"Other scientists who contributed to this branch of ecology include Edmund Ruffin and Linus Pauling."
