I'm not sure what you are asking, and I'm not sure a gardening forum is the right place to ask. Maybe a botanist would be a better source.

However, calcium tends to neutralize acid, so a high amount of calcium added to an acid soil might effectively bring the pH to neutral.

The most important factor for a beautiful garden is to maintain the nutrients in the soil and the best way to do it is by using compost. Compost can be made of any foliage, leaves from your lawn, kitchen scraps etc. Another important factor is the right amount of water. Due to water scarcity it is important to use water wisely in your garden. Some useful tips on how to use water wisely in your garden can be found at the gardne spto

Soil calcium is mainly important for lowering the pH level and the associated acidity.
Most flowers and vegetables grow best in slightly acid soil.
