Soil qualities and related soil characteristics

Soil Qualities Soil Characteristics

SQ1 Nutrient availability Soil texture, soil organic carbon, soil pH, total exchangeable bases

SQ2 Nutrient retention capacity Soil Organic carbon, Soil texture, base saturation, cation exchange capacity of soil and of clay fraction SQ3 Rooting conditions Soil textures, bulk density, coarse fragments, vertic soil properties and soil phases affecting root penetration and soil depth and soil volume

SQ4 Oxygen availability to roots Soil drainage and soil phases affecting soil drainage

SQ5 Excess salts. Soil salinity, soil sodicity and soil phases influencing salt conditions

SQ6 Toxicity Calcium carbonate and gypsum

SQ7 Workability (constraining field management) Soil texture, effective soil depth/volume, and soil phases constraining soil management (soil depth, rock outcrop, stoniness, gravel/concretions and hardpans

this information is very important should be added ...
