Some substances (such as ammonium sulfate) which themselves are not acidic can cause the acidification of soils when they are taken up by plants or modified by soil microorganisms. Thus, the concept of "acidifying precipitation" must be added to the concept of "acid precipitation". 7, record 1, English, - acidifying

La notion d'«acidifiant» ne s'emploie guère qu'en opposition avec celle d'«acide». Opposés au terme «acide», les termes «acidifiant» et «acidogène» permettent d'insister, quand c'est nécessaire, sur le fait qu'il n'y a pas que les substances acides qui participent à l'acidification d'un milieu. 5, record 1, French, - acidifiant
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le terme «acidogène» n'est attesté que dans des sources traduites. C'est néanmoins un terme dont la composition rend parfaitement le sens précis et technique de la notion qu'il désigne. 5, record 1, French, - acidifiant
