Next >

Which of the following best describes the relationship between a soil’s cation exchange capacity (CEC) and its ability to maintain stable nutrient levels and pH?

A

Lower CEC increases soil’s ability to hold onto anions, stabilizing nutrient availability

B

Higher CEC allows soil to retain more cations, buffering against nutrient loss and pH changes

C

Increased CEC leads to rapid leaching of nutrients, destabilizing soil pH

D

CEC has no impact on nutrient retention, only affecting soil structure
