Albrecht campaigned against the concept of an acid soil causing poorer crop growth rather, it is the calcium deficiency that needs to be remedied. The acid soil solution dissolves rock particles, such as rock phosphate and limestone, to release beneficial nutrients such as phosphate and calcium respectively. It also mobilizes the other adsorbed ions off the clay-humus colloid. He estimated the optimum ratios of calcium to magnesium and calcium to potassium. These were approximately from 4 1 to 7.5 1, and from 15 1 to 38 1 respectively. The higher the Ca K ratio, the more proteinaceous...

Indeed it is said that it was this work that inspired Gassendi in the seventeenth century to revive the Democritan atomic theory as part of his campaign against the authority of the Aristotelian philosophy of nature.
