, the w∈ [0..1] and all values in the range [v<sub>ls</sub>..v<sub>hs</sub> ] are possible based on the landscape properties. Although in practice c is specific for each landscape property, soil type, and soil property, data are lacking to estimate c at that level of specificity. Therefore the model assumes that c is constant per soil and landscape property, or, in other words, the relative impact of landscape properties on a specific soil property is assumed to be constant over the different soil types. | , the w∈ [0..1] and all values in the range [v<sub>ls</sub>..v<sub>hs</sub> ] are possible based on the landscape properties.
