and all the w∈ [0..1] then 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 soil properties are estimated based on land management and land use. This allows for the estimation of soil properties under pristine conditions. For future years, the NDVI map is changed as a function of land use, forest management and assumptions on degradation. To assess pristine conditions, soil properties are calculated with land use set at natural, and land cover represented by the NDVI under pristine conditions. | The soil properties are estimated based on land management and land use.
