Table 7 Rules for integrating the criteria-specific classifications of carbon storage potentials

Prio-rity	Subtotal factor1	Criterion	Merger to subtotals
1	Clay content (T)		T = T
2	Spread mass production (S)	Max. spreading mass productivity (S_pot)	S = ((EP_geo-prof − 1)/(5 − 1)) * S_pot
2	Spread mass production (S)	Yield potential of the soil profile (EPgeo-prof)	S = ((EP_geo-prof − 1)/(5 − 1)) * S_pot
3	Influence on destructor activity (D)	pH(H₂O) value (pH)	D = (pH + J + W + Z)/4
		Climate [annual precipitation total/annual mean temperature (J)]
		Soil water content (W)
		Decomposition time (Z)
