    Parent material and altitude influence red soil acidification after converted rice paddy to upland in a hilly region of southern China

    Land use conversion from rice paddy to upland has been shown to decrease soil pH due to enhanced proton production from nitrification of ammonium-based N fertilizers and base cation loss. Parent material and a...
