Mukul conducted an experiment in the Green House of University of Delhi. He filled 10 kg of sterilized and unsterilized rhizospheric soils collected from the Wheat farm in pot X and pot Y respectively. 20 g of rice crop straw was added in both these pots and they were watered daily to the field capacity with equal and measured amount of water. After one-month period, a significant decrease in the soil pH of pot B was observed. Speculate the possible reason behind this observation. Thanks in advance ?
