Characteristics of water retention 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. The individual (surface) soil forms were subjected to parameters determined by field and laboratory tests. For the same horizon-substrate combinations, the corresponding parameters (FK and nFK) were statistically derived (usually the median value). In the case of insufficient data, the characteristic values of the water retention were determined using the linking rule 1.11 (Hennings 2000) due to the better correspondence of the derived values with measured data from the characteristic value tables of the Soil Science Mapping Guide, 3rd edition, Hanover 1984, Tab. 43.
