Soil Moisture Regime Map

Mediterranean climate (moist, cool winters and dry, warm summers) management considerations vary based on different moisture regimes. In areas where ssurgo data were not available, the digital general soil map of the united states (statsgo2) data were used. In soils where the groundwater table is not reached by the roots of most crop plants, the smr is determined by the seasonal distribution of rainfall in ‘normal’ years.

The data were derived primarily from soil survey geographic (ssurgo) data. Some soils are saturated with water at times while. Moisture control section the depths in the soil at which soil moisture c1·iteria are established are definen by the concept of the moisture control section.

Aqua, water) moisture regime is a reducing regime in a soil that is virtually free of dissolved oxygen because it is saturated by water. The upper boundary of the moisture con­ trol section is the depth to which a dry soil will be moist­ Maps / soil moisture regimes of the contiguous united states. Saturated with water long enough to cause oxygen depletion.
