Cation Exchange Capacity measures a soil’s ability to retain positively charged nutrients such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium. High CEC soils buffer nutrients effectively, while low CEC soils lose nutrients through leaching. Organic matter additions improve CEC and fertilizer efficiency, making nutrient management more sustainable.
