- Scientists often use hydrogen ion concentration to gauge the acidity of different environmental samples.
And that shouldn't be surprising, just as glucose really tightly regulated, pH or hydrogen ion concentration really tightly regulated.

Hydrogen-ion concentration (pH) readings were also taken twice in the same manner.
Academic text (1995) -
Species in each pool were catalogued and classified, and the percentages of plant and animal life were compared with hydrogen-ion concentration to determine which species were able to survive in the increased pH conditions.

Nonetheless, the high BLa levels and associated hydrogen ion concentration would increase VCO2 and VE, which may be responsible for the high RER values observed during NMES leg cycle ergometry (16).
Academic text (1995) -

Morphology
hydrogen + ion + concentration
The phrase is fully compositional: combining 'hydrogen' + 'ion' + 'concentration' straightforwardly yields 'the amount (per volume) of hydrogen ions', which matches the provided definition. This noun-noun compound follows common scientific and cross-linguistic naming patterns, so a B1 learner who already knows the constituent words would be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
The term hydrogen ion concentration paints a simple picture: it names how many tiny hydrogen ions are packed into a certain amount of liquid, with concentration meaning how crowded they are. So, counting those particles tells us a solution's 'acidity' and is used to 'measure' how acidic it is.
