Example of the summary of the soil layers to an internal program layer based on the rooting layer

Sizes calculated with the soil moisture simulation

The soil moisture simulation is based on a non-linear calculation of the individual soil horizons. The soil is divided into different horizons (layers). Each layer is calculated and compared with the layers below or above (if available). The following soil physical parameters are used as parameters for the soil moisture calculation:

• Wilting point (WP)
• Field capacity (FK)
• Total pore volume (GPV)
• Saturated conductivity (kf value)
• Maximum infiltration capacity (Max.Inf.)
• Maximum rate of capillary suction (Max.Cap.)
• Assignment to a soil type: sand, silt, clay
