CEC
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:APBI200/Archive/2014-15WT2
Here are some general ranges of CEC (in cmolc/kg soil) for various soil orders
- Luvisols: 10-30 cmolc/kg soil
- Podzols: 10-20 cmolc/kg soil
- Solonetz: 15-30 cmolc/kg soil
- Chernozem: 20-40 cmolc/kg soil
- Vertisol: 35-50 cmolc/kg soil
- Organic soils: 130-150 cmolc/kg soil
There values are dependent on pH of soil, since portion of their CEC is due to organic matter, which changes with soil pH
