Aluminum toxicity refers to the harmful effects of aluminum ions on living organisms, particularly plants and aquatic life. It is influenced by soil pH, where lower pH levels can increase the solubility of aluminum, making it more available for uptake by roots. This phenomenon can lead to detrimental impacts on cation exchange capacity and disrupt natural buffer systems in soils and waters.
congrats on reading the definition of aluminum toxicity. now let's actually learn it.
