What Does ECEC Stand For?
ECEC stands for Effective Cation Exchange Capacity
Effective Cation Exchange Capacity (ECEC) is a critical soil property that measures the ability of soil to retain and exchange cation nutrients, which are positively charged ions essential for plant growth. ECEC is influenced by soil composition, particularly the presence of clay and organic matter, and plays a vital role in nutrient availability, soil fertility, and overall ecosystem health. Understanding ECEC helps in assessing soil management practices and optimizing fertilization strategies for sustainable agricultural production.
