PH or power of hydrogen serves as a buffer. Its measured in a scale form 0 to 14, 7 being neutral. As humans, a normal pH of all tissues and fluids of the body (except the stomach) is slightly alkaline. The most critical pH is in the blood. All other organs and fluids will fluctuate in their range in order to keep the blood a strict pH between 7.35 and 7.45 (slightly alkaline). This process is called homeostasis. The body makes constant adjustments in tissue and fluid pH to maintain this very narrow pH range in the blood.
Ecologically pH plays a huge role in the survival of all marine and terrestrial species. In terrestrial species the ph is regulated internally whereas marine species depend from a stable environment to survive. Seawater is rich in carbon dioxide, which yields carbonate acid, dissasociating bicarbonate and carbonate ions, which help regulate or buffer ph. There is so much you can say about ph, without it we would not be able to live...

I wasn't aware that measuring acidity levels was all that important. Is the pH of your vaginal secretions so high that it's killing your partner's sperm? Are beneficial algae dying in your public bodies of water? What else is there? It's either acidic or it isn't. Acid hurts. Don't touch it.

You need to figure out the role of each animal in its immediate ecosystem - who are its predators or prey - I can tell you about Cheetahs who prey chiefly on springboks and gazelles that no other predator in Africa can outrun...

stability, neutrality. anything other than neutral is corrosive. too acetic or alkaline and deterioration occurs rapidly. 7 is nice. don't get into a hot that is too far from 7. ouch.
