Just now seeing this 4 years afterward. Havent seen your more recent research. But Good info. Thanks. If I might speculate: id say that while measuring CECs are informative, maximizing plant root exudates to build soil structure are 10X to 100X more important than balancing Ca:Mg ratios. And probably will reduce costs/acre as well.

If you have too much Mg wrt Ca in the soil it will be hard and tight and lack porosity. This will lead to a hostile environment for the biology that feed off of those exudates as the Oxygen is less available.
