Yes it does! pH is basically the potential of hydrogen ions present in any fluids... there are varying types of soil... therefore varying pH values of soil too. add water to soil and more hyrogen ions may be gained/lost depending on the nature of the soil.

Yes. It will pick up the hydrogen ions in the soil (or the reverse will happen) changing the pH of the water.

PH is a measurement between acid through salt to basic. Most dead plants are acid. most soil is basic. mother nature mixes these together to equal ph 7 which is salt in the oceans.

confident it does, soil has a ph to it , each so often its acid and each so often its common, so water will replace to despite the soil is because it passes by it. although if the water is purely too acid then it in itself would desire to swap the soil and reason it additionally to develop into acid.
