A nation-wide mapping of dry soils for plant production: A case study from Denmark [Root zone capacity]

Madsen, Henrik Breuning & Holst, Kristian Aagaard: A nationwide mapping of dry soils for plant production-A case study from Denmark. Geografisk Tidsskrift 88: 1-8. København, 1988. For economical or environmental reasons the arable land in Denmark will probably decrease in size in the nearby future. Therefore some areas will change into marginal land, especially wetlands, undulating areas and areas with dry soils. A nation-wide mapping of those areas has been carried out, and this paper describes the methodology used for mapping dry soils for grass and barley production.
