N Leaching Index RUSLE2 instructions Diane Shields Asst. State Soil Scientist Dover, DE 9/26/2012 These instructions show how to use RUSLE2 to get the Nitrogen Leaching Index for the soil map units in a county or other soil survey area, for use in meeting the revised 590 Nutrient Management Standard for nitrogen.

Select the template “NRCS simple SCI N_Leach101506”, then Open

Select the “profile” icon; then from the drop-down menu, select one (I only have the default); then Open

Next to the Location box, use the drop-down menu to select your soil survey area

Open folders to find the survey area of your choice; ‘double-click’ to load it.

Next to the Soil box, use the drop-down menu to select Soil Survey Area, then Map Unit, then Component. Double-click the Component to load it. (For complex map units with more than one component, you will need to run this N Leaching Index independently for each Component)

You’ll select the map unit, and then the individual component (double-click to select it)

In the lower left corner of screen, under Results, the last line is “Nitrogen leaching index”. Click Open.

A box pops up and the top line refers to the temperature for fall/winter precipitation – it uses daily average temperature to get the sum of precipitation during the period when there is not much active vegetative growth. The default is 50 degrees F., and if that suits the soil survey area you are looking at, just go with the default. To determine whether to use a different value, see next slides.

Select the “climate” icon

From the drop-down menu, select the Soil Survey Area that you need; click Open

When the dialogue box opens, click on the tab “Daily”, which shows the daily average temperatures for the SSA. Review the data to determine what temperature represents the fall and winter precipitation, usually about October through February. For example, if the first day that the temperature reaches 50 deg. is March 1, and as temperatures drop after the summer, to 50 deg. on Oct. 15, then the default of 50 degrees is fine. You may want to pick a different temperature, say 45 degrees, and see what months that would cover. When you find a temperature that best approximates the ‘non-growing season’ for your area, use that temperature instead of the default value of 50.

The N leaching index is the last line, in red numerals.

You will need to repeat the steps to get N leaching index for the major component(s) of each map unit. Then make a table or spreadsheet to record the results of the calculations for each map unit component. I found that there were only four categories that varied by the four Hydrologic Soil Groups (HSGs). Slope, surface texture, etc. will not make a difference.

This is an example of what your spreadsheet may look like This is an example of what your spreadsheet may look like. The last column “N Leaching Rating” would be a class (low, moderate, high, very high, etc.) that will be determined for the state, in coordination with state partnerships, based on the N Leaching Index.

Select the break points of the N Leaching Ratings (Low = 0 to 6, Mod = 6 to 10, etc.) based on where the soils fall out. This may depend on the values you calculate for N Leaching Index. You want similar soils to be in the same group, so select breaks that make sense.
