Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Water storage capacity
The term refers to water which is retained in the soil by tension forces and can easily be taken up by plants (soil moisture tension 0.1 - 1 Atm). Estimates show that there is likely to be 1 mm of easily available water (soil moisture tension 0.1 - 1 Atm) for each 1 cm of physiological root penetration depth. The physiological root penetration depth is determined by the entire layer that can be penetrated by roots, with deductions for stones and large cavities in sand and gravel soils, together with deductions for compact structures and soil horizons with a low oxygen content. (Details: Soil suitability map of Switzerland, March 1980).

- Purpose
-
Die Karte zeigt geomorphologisch und bodenkundlich ausgeschiedene Einheiten, welche anschliessend nach ihren landwirtschaftlichen und forstlichen Nutzungsmöglichkeiten beurteilt sind. Diese Beurteilung erfolgt aufgrund der bodenkundlichen Eigenschaften der Kartierungseinheiten. Es werden damit standortgemässe Nutzungsmöglichkeiten, unabhängig von der derzeitigen Bodennutzung, dargestellt.

1980 publizierten die damaligen Bundesämter für Raumplanung, für Landwirtschaft und für Forstwesen eine Bodeneignungskarte der Schweiz im Massstab 1:200'000. Einige Jahre später wurde diese Karte am Geographischen Institut der Universität Bern zur Verwendung in verschiedenen Arbeiten digitalisiert.
