On the characterization of Belgian soils

Abstract:

An information system for the characterization of Belgian soil series is described. It is a front end application based on a statistical summary of soil profile data and on pedotransfer functions. It provides information on the characteristics of soil series such as textural composition, organic carbon, calcium carbonate and hydrated ferri oxyde-content, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity. Necessary input for the system are the soil series and some regional information. -from Authors
