PERCENT
Percent of polygon occupied by the component

This figure identifies the percentage of the polygon that is occupied by the component.

In the original version 1.0 Component Table, components occupying less than 16% of the polygon were coded only if they had a significant impact on the spatial estimation of soil carbon (see list below). In these cases, a maximum of two components less than 16% were coded.

Upgrades to the SLCs since Version 1.0 have resulted in some additional minor components being added to some polygons.
