Abstract
A method for determining the total exchangeable bases of carbonate soils is described. The carbonate in a known weight of soil is decomposed by acetic acid and the carbon dioxide evolved is estimated. By further extraction with acetic acid a solution is obtained which contains not only the bases originally in combination with the carbon dioxide but also the exchangeable bases. The amount of the latter is found by difference.Keywords
