Bestimmung bodenabhängiger Klimafeuchtezahlen für verschiedene Standorte in den mittleren und nordöstlichen Regionen Deutschlands

Abstract

Müller, J.; Böttcher, F.; Schmidt, M.: Classification of a soil addicted climate-moisture-index for different places in middle and north-eastern regions of Germany. – Hercynia N.F. 41 (2008): 189 -200.The productivity of agricultural regions depend on climatic conditions und exceedingly on the natural given soil performance. To get an adequate quantification of the regional agricultural ability and of the regional sensitivity concerning climate change, a simple soil addicted climate-moisture-index was developed. The independent index considers the annual precipitation rates, the saturation deficit and the usable field capacity of a location. An annual index was calculated for different bouts and places and also regional and chronologically compared to itself. The long-time average of this index allows a classification in different categories of humidity and aridity of the tested locations. The application of the index is transferable on other climes except for Polar Regions.
