Does any one know what buffer capacity is exactly? How does it happen? Why?
What effect does it have on plants? What purpose does it serve? Does it
occur in/to all plant forms ie.... shrubs, perennials etc? Can you induce it
to happen?

Any help would be appreciated because I am taking a soils course by
correspondence and I am having a tough time getting any help from anyone!

TIA!
