Soil Acidification, the Environment and Production

土壤酸化影响了澳大利亚50%的农业用地，是农业最重要的经济制约因素。此外，主要的外部影响包括温室气体排放、河流和地下水健康减少、生物多样性减少、盐碱化和内涝增加以及基础设施受损。该网络的目的是量化酸化过程以及这些过程与场外影响的联系。这将导致为酸化和潜在的酸性土壤及其相关的场外影响制定战略计划，并查明知识差距和建立研究和政策协同效应。

Soil acidification affects 50% of Australia's agricultural land and is the most important economic constraint to agricultural. In addition, major external offsite impacts include greenhouse gas emissions, reduced stream and ground water health, reduced biodiversity, increased salinity and waterlogging and infrastructure damage. The aim of this network is to quantify the acidification processes and the connection of these processes to the offsite impacts. This will lead to development of strategic plans for acidified and potential acid soils and associate offsite impacts, as well as identifying knowledge gaps and building research and policy synergies.
