Soil acidity is one of the main constraints to agricultural production in tropical regions. The objective of this study was to assess the variability of chemical attributes related to soil acidity in two layers (0–20 cm and 20–40 cm) across nineteen experimental areas where cocoa was cultivated following surface liming and gypsum application. After 87 months, no association was observed between soil acidification and soil buffering capacity indicators. Surface liming did not affect the acidity attributes within the 0–20 cm layer, suggesting that its impact was limited to upper soil layers. In contrast, gypsum amendment reduced Al3+ saturation in the 20–40 cm layer.

La acidez del suelo es la principal limitación para la producción agrícola en las regiones tropicales. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la variabilidad de los atributos químicos relacionados con la acidez del suelo en dos capas (0–20 cm y 20–40 cm), en diecinueve áreas experimentales donde se cultivó cacao después de la aplicación de encalado superficial y yeso. Después de 87 meses, no se observó ninguna asociación entre la acidificación y los indicadores de amortiguación del suelo. El encalado superficial no afectó los atributos de acidez dentro de la capa de 0 - 20 cm, lo que indica que su impacto se limitó a las capas superiores del suelo. Por su parte, la enmienda con yeso resultó en una reducción en la saturación de Al3+ dentro de la capa de 20 - 40 cm.
