The ability of a soil to absorb changes in the soil solution. These changes may be of pH or increased salt concentrations from fertilizer application.
The ability of a medium to withstand rapid pH fluctuations.
the ability to resist changes in pH when either acidic or basic solutions are added
The resistance of water or soil to changes in pH.
A measure of the resistance to acidification by acids or alkalinization by bases. See also buffer.
The ability of a soil to resist chemical changes. The major buffering system for soils is the cation exchange capacity.
The soils ability to resist change in pH. Soils with a high clay and organic matter content have a higher buffering capacity and can tolerate the addition of acidifying fertilisers over an extended period, or at a higher rate of addition without becoming too acid. But once it is acid, the soil will require a large amount of lime or dolomite to reverse the effect. The amount of lime or dolomite required varies from soil to soil depending on the pH ( Baker and Eldershaw, 1993).
ability of water to resist change in its chemical property upon receiving a toxicant.
The ability of the pool to resist changes in pH, which prevents water balance. The buffering capacity is given by the alkalinity, a close cousin to pH. If your pH bounces, or resumes previous levels soon after adjustment, your buffering capacity is too low. Check your total alkalinity.
The buffering capacity of water refers to the ability of the water to neutralize acids. Limestone (calcium carbonate) is a natural buffer that helps to maintain soil and water pH near neutral.
The ability of the pool to resist changes in pH. The buffering capacity is determined by the total alkalinity. If your pH bounces, or resumes previous levels soon after adjustment, the buffering capacity is too low. If your pH rises rapidly, even after the addition of large amounts of acid, the buffering capacity is too high. If the pool has an unstable pH, the total alkalinity should be tested and adjusted.
the ability of a solution to resist or dampen changes in pH upon the addition of acids or bases.
