Evaluate the drafted changes
Before I start, there is no draft in the Sandbox. I am not sure if you are editing directly on the Article's page. If you are, you have to go to the Wikiedu page and copy the article itself into the Sandbox draft page and edit there. Once your article is finished and ready to be published, that is when you post it onto the official article site.

Lead

The lead is well written. Has a neutral tone and good descriptive information on the topic as well. The lead sentence is appropriate.

Content

Has a neutral tone and a good information. The sections are relevant to the topic and provides well written information that is displayed in a balanced way.

The subsection of "The net effect of soil liming..." is long and should be shortened. Maybe something like "Effects of soil liming". An introductory sentence can mention the soil organic carbon. The processes can be mentioned in individual paragraphs instead of a list.

Tone and Balance

The content is neutral and balanced. There are no biases towards a specific viewpoint in the text. The only comment I would say is to remove words such as "usually". For example, in the paragraph before the subsection of "Net effect"..., the first sentence, "Soils with low CEC...", i would remove usually. Maybe something like " Soils with low CEC can show a more marked pH increase...". These words tend to cause biases and the article should remain as neutral as possible.

References

The references work and the information cited matches the articles as well. Citations include older and current information which indicates a well-researched article. The references work and are relevant to the topic.

Organization

The article is concise, clear, and an easy read. The sections could be properly divided. The subsection could be a section on its own. I did not see any grammatical errors in the text.

Images

They images go well with the topic. If possible, to add an image of the process, like the liming reaction in soil, would be a good source. As well as adding a section explaining the process would be good.
