Available Water Capacity - Important note [Discussion] #12

Open Samuel22 opened 3 years ago

Samuel22 commented 3 years ago

Just an important point to note following testing with Agrivision - the AWC relies on a pedotransfer function to convert Sand/Silt/Clay, Soil Carbon into a physical Available Water Capacity measurement. It does not factor into account toxicity at depth, and when being used this needs to be a separate consideration. Farm Soil Mapping can be used to map toxicity separately, and used to compare against AWC maps generated.

This is good. It's important to explain the limitations of the fsm-tools.

We should talk about this in an article leading up to the June conference.
