Acidophobe
 (

An acidophobe is an organism that is intolerant of environments.Robert Alan Lewis. (1998). Lewis' Dictionary of Toxicology. CRC Press. (p. 17). The terms acidophobia, acidophoby and acidophobic are also used.Acidophobe. (n.d.) -Ologies & -Isms Https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Acidophobe< /ref> The term acidophobe is variously applied to , , , , chemical compounds, etc. The antonymous term is .

Plants are known to be well-defined with respect to their pH tolerance, and only a small number of species thrive well under a broad range of acidity.Iqbal, M. T. "Acid tolerance mechanisms in soil grown plants." Malaysian Journal of soil science 16.1 (2012): 1-21.Yost, R. S. "Plant tolerance of low soil pH, soil aluminum, and soil manganese." Plant Nutrient Management in Hawaii’s Soils 11 (2000): 113-115. Therefore the categorization acidophile/acidophobe is well-defined. Sometimes a complementary classification is used (calcicole/calcifuge, with calcicoles being "lime-loving" plants). In gardening, is a measure of or of , with pH = 7 indicating the neutral soil. Therefore acydophobes would prefer pH above 7. Acid intolerance of plants may be mitigated by lime addition and by calcium and nitrogen fertilizers.

Acidophobic species are used as a natural instrument of monitoring the degree of acidifying contamination of soil and . For example, when monitoring vegetation, a decrease of acidophobic species would be indicative of increase in the area. A similar approach is used with aquatic species.
