## Assumptions

- `lime` terms (except `agriculturalLimestone`) have been mapped to Ca limestone in SALCA. For `dolomoticLime` this means only the limestone SALCA heavy metals value has been used, we have not added the magnesium heavy metal fraction as well. 
- SALCA values are given per kg Ca or per kg Mg, so conversions were required to convert HESTIA units like `kgCaCO3` and `kgMgO`.
