2. Soil pH - Wikipedia

   Then, using the initial soil pH and the aluminium content, the amount of lime needed to raise the pH to a desired level can be calculated. [68] Amendments other than agricultural lime that can be used to increase the pH of soil include wood ash, industrial calcium oxide , magnesium oxide, basic slag (calcium silicate), and oyster shells.

3. Cation-exchange capacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cation-exchange_capacity

   Cation-exchange capacity (CEC) is a measure of how many cations can be retained on soil particle surfaces. [1] Negative charges on the surfaces of soil particles bind positively-charged atoms or molecules (cations), but allow these to exchange with other positively charged particles in the surrounding soil water. [2]

4. Base-cation saturation ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base-cation_saturation_ratio

   Base-cation saturation ratio (BCSR) is a method of interpreting soil test results that is widely used in sustainable agriculture, supported by the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service (ATTRA) [1] and claimed to be successfully in use on over a million acres (4,000 km 2) of farmland worldwide.

   Soil pH Test: For a very low price, your local Extension office will test your soil pH. To have a test completed, simply collect one cup’s worth of soil and remove all debris, such as sticks ...

6. Acid neutralizing capacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_neutralizing_capacity

   Acid-neutralizing capacity or ANC in short is a measure for the overall buffering capacity against acidification of a solution, e.g. surface water or soil water.. ANC is defined as the difference between cations of strong bases and anions of strong acids (see below), or dynamically as the amount of acid needed to change the pH value from the sample's value to a chosen different value. [1]

7. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

   The smaller the difference, the more the overlap. In the case of citric acid, the overlap is extensive and solutions of citric acid are buffered over the whole range of pH 2.5 to 7.5. Calculation of the pH with a polyprotic acid requires a speciation calculation to be performed. In the case of citric acid, this entails the solution of the two ...

9. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

   Soil bulk density, when determined at standardized moisture conditions, is an estimate of soil compaction. [3] Soil porosity consists of the void part of the soil volume and is occupied by gases or water. Soil consistency is the ability of soil materials to stick together. Soil temperature and colour are self-defining.
