Cation exchange capacity (CEC): CEC is capacity soil hold exchange cations. It is a major controlling agent stability soil structure, nutrient availability for plant growth, soil ph soil s reaction chemical fertilisers or amendments. Page 2 11

3 Soil organic matter (SOM): Carbon based matter animal plant origin which is present in soil in all stages decomposition. Sample Soil test report: Parameters Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample - 3 ph EC CEC Exchangeable Sodium %age Nitrogen [ppm] Phosphorous [ppm] Potassium [ppm] Selection Biomass: Based on soil testing report, appropriate biomass will be selected be used for mixing in soil. (Related pictures below) 2.4 Biomass calculation for every 100 Sq Mtrs. unit afforestation: Based on analysis nutrition content in soil, quantity biomass required (in Kilograms) is determined. Sample data below. Page 3 11

4 2.5 Biomass inspection at Supplier: Before procurement it s essential inspect quality biomass at source i.e. supplier. Due seasonal facrs, biomass quality may differ from time time. 2.6 Native Species survey: Native species area are be determined by surveying a natural forest nearby or by recording naturally growing species individually or in clusters. 2.7 Native Species Database: All species identified in survey are recorded in a local species database. This database is source species list generated for each mound (1 mound = afforestation area 100 Sq Mtrs.) Page 4 11
