Definition
Exchangeable bases refer to the cations (e.g., calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium) adsorbed onto soil colloids, which can readily exchange with soil solution ions. These cations are crucial for maintaining soil fertility, affecting nutrient availability and pH buffering capacity. High exchangeable base levels indicate fertile soil conducive to plant growth.
