The new numbers include an abbreviation of the country code and a number starting from 1 to 41.
Hence the new profile numbers for Great Britain are GB1, GB2…..GB41. In this way it is possible
to add profiles later for each country and to directly determine to which country a profile belong.
COUNTRY: The abbreviation code “UK” does not match the code in the SGDBE, which is “GB”.
The code is therefore changed to “GB”.
Soil type name:
One soil type name has been altered. That is the soil type name of profile GB12. It is altered from
“Eo” (orthic Rendzina) to “E” (Rendzina). The correction is carried out because no STUs in the soil
map had the soil type name “Eo”. One dominant STU had the soil type name “E”.

TEXT_1: (dominant surface textural class)
The following profiles do not have the correct texture data in the EST_HOR (estimated horizon data
base) to qualify to the required dominant surface textural class (TEXT_1). For most profiles only
minor corrections are needed in the texture data (only a couple of percent). This means that other
data like water retention and CEC are still reliable. For two profiles: GB6 (176) and GB20 (190) the
corrections needed are too great (marked red). In these two cases the corrections are not carried out
(see below). Three profiles GB17 (187), GB19 (189) and GB41 (211) (marked yellow) are given
wrong dominant surface textural classes. When the calculated dominant surface textural class from
the EST_HOR is used then it will be possible to link the profiles to dominant STUs (see below).

Profiles where the texture could not be adjusted:
Profile GB6 (176) has the soil type Be-1, which means that the percentage of sand should be at
least 65%. The total amount of sand is however only 41%. A correction of 24% in the sand fraction
is considered to possibly affect other parametres as well. Therefore the correction is not made.
Profile GB20 (190) has the soil type Jcg-1, which means that the percentage of sand should be at
least 65%. The total amount of sand is however only 19%. A correction of 46% in the sand fraction
is considered to possibly affect other parametres as well. Therefore the correction is not made.
Profiles with new “dominant surface textural class”.
Profile GB17 (187) that has the soil type Gmf-4 should have been classified as Gmf-9, since the
surface horizon is organic (20,1 % organic matter). This correction will mean that the profile can be
linked to the dominant STU 4401623 in the soil map.
2
Profile GB19 (189) that has the soil type Bef-2 should have been classified as Bef-3 according to
the texture data in the EST_HOR. Since a dominant STU with the soil type Bef-2 does not excist
the “TEXT_1” (dominant surface textural class) value is altered to “3” in the EST_PROF.
Profile GB41 (211) that has the soil type name U-1 should have been classified as U-9 according to
the content of organic matter in the surface horizon (64,8%).

The corrections carried out in the EST_PROF.dbf mean the following:
Colour
Yellow
Orange
Green
Turquoise
Red
Type of Changes/corrections
In EST_PROF: Value added (There were no value before). The
value is calculated on the basis of data in EST_HOR.dbf
Corrections had to be carried out in EST_HOR.dbf. in order to
qualify for the originally given dominant surface textural class.
The dominant surface textural class is changed because the data in
EST_HOR do not support the given dominant surface textural class.
Both the dominant surface textural class and the data in EST_HOR
are altered in order to qualify for a “new” dominant surface textural
class that can be linked to the soil map.
Incorrect code for dominant surface textural class
SMU and STU: There are not typed any numbers in the fields of the STUs and SMUs to which
each profile can be linked. This is because in most cases there is more than one SMU/STU to which
the profile can be linked. The links are instead typed in the NEW_ESTSTULK (estimated profile to
STU linking table) and in the reports “EST_HOR” (below) or “linkage to the soil map”.
Parent material: ok
Groundwater levels: ok
Land use: ok
Root depths: There are root depths of several crops (except alfalfa, olives and cotton).
4
Origin of data:
1: Average of a number of profiles: TEXT_2, TEXT_200, TEXT_2000, PH, OM, CaCO3, depths
2: From a single representative profile:
3: Predictions derived from mathematical functions: water retention, POR, CEC, BS, BD
4: Predictions derived from relationships between horizons and class functions
5: Expert judgment: TEXT_20, TEXT_50, Structure, gravel, C/N-ratio
