Suggestion for a 4th category of Soil Profile Element Parameter in the soil TG

[pvgenuchten]

Currently paragraph 53238 lists 3 categories (chemical, physical, biological) of profile element parameters with an option to extend these categories narrower only.

On a recent masterclass on INSPIRE practices in the Soil domain for soil institutes it was suggested to add a 4th category; 'descriptive parameters', which would be able to capture observations from the field, not from a lab. Such as mottle %, mottle size, color, stoniness etc. Another option here would be to allow the code list to be extended at the root level (relieve the requirement to be narrower then the 3 categories).

As suggested by @sMorrone , i transformed this to an issue on TG
