A Soil Well Suited for the Growth of Most Plants

Question

A soil well suited for the growth of most plants would have all of the following properties except
A)abundant humus.
B)air spaces.
C)good drainage.
D)high cation exchange capacity.
E)a high pH.

Accepted Answer

A soil that is well suited for the growth of most plants would typically have a slightly acidic to neutral pH, typically between 6.0-7.0. A high pH (above 7.0) can lead to nutrient deficiencies in plants and can limit their growth. Therefore, a soil with a high pH would not be well suited for the growth of most plants.
