CEC measures soil's ability to retain positively charged ions like Ca2+, Mg2+, K+. Higher CEC indicates better soil quality and productivity. Cation exchange sites primarily found on clay minerals and organic matter. CEC can increase with organic matter but decrease with acidification
Agronomists optimize crop production and sustainable agriculture practices. Conduct soil analysis and interpret data for fertilization recommendations. Advise farmers on crop selection and irrigation management. Implement pest control strategies and utilize precision farming technology. Promote environmental stewardship and sustainable farming practices
Journal covers Horticulture, Botany, Cultivar, Agronomy and Shoot. Horticulture (59.19%) is most cited, followed by Botany (36.85%) and Cultivar (22.86%). Special focus on Rootstock, Fruit tree, Ripening, Postharvest and Wine yield. Most work intersects with Rosaceae and Food science
ug/L means micrograms per liter. ppm (parts per million) is a measure of chemical concentration. 1 ppm equals approximately 1 mg/L in water
Environmental monitoring involves sampling and testing air, water, soil, noise and ecosystem. Helps identify pollution effects and educate public about environmental conditions. Primary process before preparing Environmental Impact Assessment
Porosity equals pore volume divided by total volume. Soil particle density is assumed to be 2.66 g/(cm³). Porosity can be expressed as (1 - bulk density) divided by particle density
