Common Expressions: exchangeable

ExpressionsDefinition
Exchangeable image file formatExchangeable image file format (Exif) is a specification for the image file format used by digital cameras. It was written by the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA). The specification uses existing file formats such as JPEG, TIFF Rev. 6.0, and RIFF WAVE audio file format, with the addition of specific metadata tags. It is not supported in JPEG 2000 or PNG.

Specialty Expressions: exchangeable

ExpressionsDomainDefinition
Exchangeable anionMiningA negatively charged ion held on or near the surface of a solid particle by a positive surface charge and which may be easily replaced by other negatively charged ions (e.g. with a Cl salt). (references)
Exchangeable basesMiningCharge sites on the surface of soil particles that can be readily replaces with a salt solution. In most soils, Ca, Mg, K and Na predominate. Historically, these are called bases because they are cations of strong bases. Many soil chemists object to this term because these cations are not bases by any modern definition of the term. See also base saturation and exchangeable cation. (references)
Exchangeable cationAerospaceA cation such as calcium that is adsorbed onto a surface, usually clay or humus and is capable of being easily replaced by another cation such as potassium. Exchangeable cations are readily available to plants. (references)
Exchangeable cationMiningA positively charged ion held on or near the surface of a solid particle by a negative surface and which may be replaced by other positively charged ions in the soil solution. Usually expressed in centimoles or millimoles of charge per kilogram. (references)
Exchangeable cation percentageAerospaceThe extent to which the adsorption complex of a soil is occupied by a particular cation. It is expressed as: ECP = [exchangeable cation (meq/100 g soil) / cation exchange capacity (meq/100 g soil)] x 100. (references)
Exchangeable cation percentageMining(no longer preferred in SSSA publications) The extent to which the adsorption complex of a soil is occupied by a particular cation. (references)
Exchangeable nutrientMiningA plant nutrient that is held by the adsorption complex of the soil and is easily exchanged with the anion or cation of neutral salt solutions. (references)
Exchangeable phosphateAerospaceThe phosphate anion reversibly attached to the surface of the solid phase of the soil in such form that it may go into solution by anionic equilibrium reactions with isotopes of phosphorus or with other anions of the liquid phase without solution of the colloid phase to which it was attached. (references)
Exchangeable potassiumAerospaceThe potassium that is held by the adsorption complex of the soil and is easily exchanged with the cation of neutral nonpotassium salt solutions. (references)
Exchangeable sodium fractionMiningThe fraction of the cation exchange capacity of a soil occupied by sodium ions. (references)
Exchangeable sodium percentageGeographyThe degree of saturation of the soil exchange complex with sodium. It may be calculated by the formula. Source: European Union. (references)
