pH is the measure of how a cidic or soluble water is an aquatic environment or soil arrangement. It impacts how, what gets planted where and where certain animals can stay especially when it comes to staying in either freshwater or salt water. Some plants drive well in acidic conditions while others in soluble conditions.
The pH of an ecosystem can be adjusted by a number of factors including the natural limitations of human alteration as a result of over use , inconsistency in the level of nitrogen in the soil and other essential soil nutrients such as phosphorus, calcium, barometrical CO2, herbivore, pathogen, and p redator densities, a ggravation administrations and even serious weather conditions such as hurricane

The pH of the terrestrial or aquatic environment can be altered by pollution. Pollution such as oil spillage, excess nutrients, radioactive waste materials, toxic chemical wastes from industries, oil, etc will change the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the environment in which they dumped.
