Sorption capacity in the effective root region of Brandenburg

This map is based on the legend units of the soil overview map with corresponding assignment of parameterised surface soil shapes. These represent a soil form society for each legend unit. The individual (area) soil shapes were provided with parameters, including the corresponding KAK values determined by terrain and laboratory tests. The same horizontal-substrate combinations were summarised and the corresponding parameters (such as KAK values) were statistically derived (usually the median value). The sequence of horizontal-substrate combinations in the surface soil forms with their KAC values formed the basis for the calculation of the sorption capacity in the effective root space (see Hennings 2000, link rule 2.3).
