Soil Acidity On High Rainfall Pastures, J S. Yeates, D. A. Mcghie, I. R. Wilson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Most soils of the high rainfall area of south-western Western Australia are naturally acis.
The most acid group of soils, the peaty sands. have been routinely limed before subterranean clover pastures were established since research in the 1950s showed that poor Rhizobium nodulation could be overcome with the application of about 2 tonnes per hectare of coastal limesand.

Soil Acidity And Liming In The Lower Great Southern, R N. Glencross, M. G. Clarke
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In the 375 to 750 millimetre rainfall area of the Lower Great Southern, reports of loss of subterranean clover from established pastures, reduced carrying capacity for sheep and increasing soil acidity lead to the establishment in 1981 of a research programme into the effects of soil acidity on pasture productivity in that region.
