Question

acidified soils are ___.
devoid of heavy metals
more likely to hold nutrients
less likely to hold nutrients
teeming with healthy decomposers

Explanation:

Acidified soils have a lower pH. This causes nutrient - cations like calcium, magnesium, and potassium to be leached out more easily, making the soil less likely to hold nutrients. Heavy metals can become more soluble in acidified soils, not less present. Acidic conditions can also harm decomposers.

Answer:

less likely to hold nutrients
