Ideas in this flowchart
- Soil survey maps represent soil properties with different degrees of temporal stability.
- Static properties are commonly emphasized on soil survey maps.
- Static properties change slowly.
- Static properties represent natural soil capability.
- Dynamic properties, such as nitrate, can change over time.
- Processes affecting dynamic properties
- Plant uptake
- Denitrification
- Leaching
- Lateral water movement
- These processes alter spatial patterns over time.
- Dynamic properties are difficult to represent accurately on a static map.
