I need to understand how to measure CEC, which stands for cation exchange capacity, and also how to measure exchangeable cations. Could someone please explain the process or provide relevant resources?

Numerically, meq/100 g is equivalent to centimoles of charge per kilogram of exchanger, denoted as cmol (+)/kg. This equivalence allows for a more intuitive interpretation of CEC values in terms of the exchanger's mass.

CEC, or cation exchange capacity, is a term used to express the amount of positively charged ions that can be held by a soil or other exchanger. This metric is significant in understanding soil fertility and nutrient retention.

Conventionally, CEC is expressed in units of meq/100 g, as outlined by Rengasamy and Churchman. This unit represents the quantity of charge held per hundred grams of soil or exchanger.
