Abstract

Different types of cation exchange capacity (CEC) and related chemical properties were determined in the main genetic horizons of meadow-chestnut soils in the mesodepressions at the Dzhanybek Research Station of the Institute of Forestry of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In the A horizon, the CEC is mainly due to the organic matter from the clay and coarse fractions, which provides 36% of the soil CEC, and to labile silicates and other clay minerals of the clay fraction. In the Bt horizon, the CEC is mainly provided by the labile minerals of the clay fraction and organic matter of the clay and coarse fractions. The standard soil CEC was found to be significantly higher than the sum of the exchangeable cations in the A horizon and slightly lower than the sum of the exchangeable cations in the Bt and Bca2 horizons. This difference can be related to the fact that the NH +4 ion, which is selectively adsorbed by clay minerals, is used as a displacing cation during the determination of the exchangeable bases, while the Ba2+ ion, which is more selectively adsorbed by organic matter, is used during the determination of the standard CEC. In all the genetic horizons, the experimentally determined value of the standard CEC almost coincides with the CEC value obtained by summing the standard CECs of the different particle-size fractions with account for their contents; hence, this parameter is additive in nature.
