Basic organic rating (subsurface factors)

Description

The basic organic rating (subsurface factors) are considered as modifiers of the surface (base) rating. As such, the basic organic rating is a percentage reduction. The maximum depth is considered at 120cm. There are four factors that are recognized in this category, structure (degree of decomposition) (B), depth of deposit and kind of substrate (G), reaction (V) and salinity (N). Depth of deposit and kind of substrate are currently not being used.

Usage

basicOrganicRating(subsurfaceBD, subsurfacepH, subsurfaceSalinity)

Arguments

subsurfaceBD

The subsurface bulk density Mg/m^3. Default is at 60cm depth.

subsurfacepH

The subsurface pH measured in saturated paste (dS/m). Default is at 60cm depth.

subsurfaceSalinity

The subsurface salinity measured in saturated paste (dS/m). Default is at 60cm depth.
