www.nrcs.usda.govThe soil pH generally is recorded as a range in values for the soil depth selected. How is soil pH modified? A soil pH below about 5.6 is considered low for most crops. Generally, the ideal pH range is between 6.0 and 7.0. Liming is a common method to increase the pH. It involves adding finely ground limestone to the soil. The
Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)
nmsp.cals.cornell.eduthe soil pH, the CEC associated with soil organic matter is called pH-dependent CEC. This means that the actual CEC of the soil will depend on the pH of the soil. Given the same amount and type of organic matter, a neutral soil (pH ~7) will have a higher CEC than a soil with e.g. pH 5, or in other words, the CEC of a soil with pH-dependent ...
