Discuss how and why soil ph affects plant vegetation patterns, giving examples of plant communities associated with acidic and alkaline soils.

  Soil PH affects plant vegetation pattern as, the soil PH is the method of the measurement of the acidity PH nature and basicity and when the soil mineral are get dissolved and its PH amount are below 5.0, then it become high toxic for the growth of the plants. Soil PH basically affects the nutrients and structure of the plant.

Acidic and the alkaline soils also have issue with the nutrients deficiencies such as copper, zinc and boron and when its PH value increases at 9 then, the amount of sodium become high.
