METHODS of determining base exchange capacity are now sufficiently reliable and convenient in operation to provide a measurement of "single value" type that serves to characterize a soil from a number of standpoints. Precise determinations of organic and clay colloids must be linked with identifications of the particular properties of the types of colloidal material existing in a given soil before they are of much significance. The base exchange capacity indicates the net effect of the various colloids existing in a soil in relation to both the chemical and physical properties of the soil.
