3D Soil Exchange Complex & pH Buffering Simulator

3D soil chemistry simulator: fly through a layered soil profile of clay colloids swapping exchangeable cations, tune clay content and organic matter to change CEC, and watch soil pH and buffer capacity respond in real time.

This 3D view drops you into a soil column made of clay colloids stacked through a topsoil and subsoil layer, each one surrounded by an orbiting cloud of exchangeable cations. Drag to orbit the profile and watch how tuning clay content and organic matter continuously reshapes the soil's cation exchange capacity (CEC) — then add acid or lime and see cation spheres flip from blue (base) to red (acid) or back as the exchange equilibrium shifts, driving the live pH gauge and buffer-capacity readout exactly as it would in a real soil test.

⚙ Under the hood

Manipulate a 3D soil column where clay and organic matter content dynamically build the cation exchange capacity (CEC).
