Definition
Base saturation represents the percentage of the soil's cation exchange capacity (CEC) occupied by basic cations such as calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), potassium (K⁺), and sodium (Na⁺). Higher base saturation typically correlates with higher fertility and a greater ability to supply essential nutrients to plants. This parameter also influences soil pH buffering capacity.
