8. 8 Developing SMU/STU Structure Soils of Turkey comprise 32 soil associations according to ESB/WRB soil classification. Soils of Turkey comprise 32 soil associations according to ESB/WRB soil classification. Each soil associations contain least 2, usually 3 STU. Each soil associations contain least 2, usually 3 STU. Leptosols are the dominant soils, and followed by the Calcisols, Fluvisols, Cambisols, Vertisols, Kastanozems, Regosols, Arenosols, Alisols and Acrisols. Leptosols are the dominant soils, and followed by the Calcisols, Fluvisols, Cambisols, Vertisols, Kastanozems, Regosols, Arenosols, Alisols and Acrisols.

11. 11 Soil database for Turkey SOIL.PAT, STU.ORG and STU tables were prepared according to desired format. SOIL.PAT, STU.ORG and STU tables were prepared according to desired format.

12. 12 Soil database for Turkey MEASURED PROFILES TABLE MEASURED PROFILES TABLE is also prepared for 31 soil profile according to desired format.

13. 13 Data Transformation WRB and FAO90 transformations were done from beginning data for each polygon by looking at codes for suitable soil major type according to instruction guide. WRB and FAO90 transformations were done from beginning data for each polygon by looking at codes for suitable soil major type according to instruction guide. Parent Material (PAR-MAT-DOM and PAR-MAT- SEC) Codes also transformed from beginning data by looking instruction guide. Parent Material (PAR-MAT-DOM and PAR-MAT- SEC) Codes also transformed from beginning data by looking instruction guide. Percentages of clay silt and sand proportion of soil were transformed into texture code of Soil Geographical Database Version 4.0 for each polygon by using texture class’s triangle. Because of there is no information about secondary texture of surface, the value of TEXT-SRF-DOM also be entered for TEXT-SRF-SEC. Same method was implemented for TEXT-SUB-DOM and TEXT- SUB-SEC again.
