Some of the original tables from the literature have been adjusted / updated by the author. Correlation between various national and international systems often leads to multiple soil classes being possible equivalents. These are separated in tables using "/"
symbol e.g. Dark Gray Chernozem
= Boralfic Boroll / Albolls
. Some national soil classification systems contain classes which are completely unique and hence most likely can not be correlated to any class in the target system.
