Sorptive capacity in the effective root space Brandenburg

This map is based on the legend units of the soil overview map with corresponding assignment of parameterized surface soil shapes. These represent a soil-forming society per unit of legend. Parameters were applied to the individual (area) soil forms, including the corresponding KAK values, which were determined by field and laboratory tests. The same horizon-substrate combinations were combined and the corresponding parameters (such as KAK values) were statistically derived (usually the median value).
The sequence of horizon-substrate combinations in the surface soil forms with their CAC values formed the basis for the calculation of the sorption capacity in the effective root space (see Hennings 2000, linking rule 2.3).
