HORIZON_HYDRAULICS
Cranfield University - LandIS
This product contains soil series-layer properties which describe the respective properties of four successive nominal layers within each soil topsoil, upper subsoil, lower subsoil and substrate. In addition, there are separate values for every soil series under each of four land use classes. Calculated values for water content (theta), bulk and particle density from Pedo-transfer functions derived by Van-Genuchten are available for each soil series under arable, ley
grass, permanent grass and other land use (woodland and semi-natural vegetation)
SOILSERIES and HORIZON data products are tabular data that can be used in conjunction with any of the NATMAP products except NATMAP soilscapes. There are multiple attribute datasets, which are outlined below. Each is used in assessing or modelling the capability or vulnerability of land. SOILSERIES info provides basic information on the soil series, including the modern definition of the soil. SOILSERIES pesticides includes information useful for pesticide control su
ch as pesticide leaching and runoff classes. SOILSERIES hydrology provides extensive information (17 properties) on the water regime, moisture release and hydrology of each soil. SOILSERIES leacs provides information on the shrink-swell and corrosivity of the soil to Fe and Zn. HORIZON fundamentals includes very detailed descriptions of the texture and structure of each soil horizon, while HORIZON hydraulics provides a range of hydraulic properties, for example water content for each of these la
yers.

The fundamental horizon information provided here is a statistical summary of actual measured data where it exists, this data has been thoroughly checked by soil experts and where no measured data was available an appropriate value was entered which was deemed by the expert to best represent the soil horizon. The hydraulic properties of each horizon are derived from the fundamental properties by pedotransfer functions.
