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.

"Soil survey maps commonly emphasize static properties that change slowly and represent natural soil capability. Dynamic properties such as nitrate can change through plant uptake, denitrification, leaching, and lateral water movement. Because these processes alter spatial patterns over time, dynamic properties are difficult to represent accurately on a static map."
