Dissolution of calcium carbonate would happen when partial pressure of carbon dioxide increases through the root system of the plants on soils. This chemical reaction will cause decrease in soil pH. Rapidity of dissolution will depend on the root volume in the soil.

As lime dissolves in the soil, calcium (Ca) moves to the surface of soil particles, replacing the acidity. The acidity reacts with the carbonate (CO3) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The result is a soil that is less acidic (has a higher pH)

Dear Sajjad Raza ,

I think the following reference is what you are looking for (See for example Figure 1):

and (especially Table 1):

Although a recent paper stated and I quote: “liming is the most effective approach amending soil acidity for agricultural soils.” it goes into the pretty complex chemistry (including references in this paper):

Best regards.

Dear Sir Rob Keller Thank you very much for the answer. The attachments you shared have been very valuable and thoroughly improved my understanding on the subject. Blessings.
