Soil function assessment based on the soil map at a scale of 1 : 50,000
The soil function maps were created according to the Saxon soil assessment instrument as of 05/2022. For the first time, all 1,200 guide profiles from the soil map 1 : 50,000... -
Soils with special characteristics - wet and moist soils
The derivation of the criterion is based on the soil function map "Natural soil fertility". From the map, the areas rated as level I (very low) were selected. From these, the... -
Soils with special characteristics - dry soils
The derivation of the criterion is based on the soil function map "Natural soil fertility". From the map, the areas rated as level I (very low) were selected. From these, the... -
Soil Sensitivity: Sensitivity to irrigation
On the other hand, groundwater accumulation or irrigation measures can lead to waterlogging of naturally dry, terrestrial soils that are sensitive to waterlogging. The soil... -
Soil Sensitivity: Sensitivity to draining, drying out
Changes in the groundwater level can sometimes be associated with irreversible damage to soils and ecosystems. Soils whose functions depend on a high groundwater level are... -
water storage capacity of the soil
The criterion "water storage capacity of the soil" is used to evaluate the sub-soil function "component of the water cycle habitat". Soil absorbs rainwater and stores it in its... -
Filters and buffers for pollutants
The criterion “filter and buffer for pollutants” is used, among other things, to evaluate the sub-soil function “leveling medium for material impacts”. “Filter and buffer for... -
Soil Sensitivity: Erodability by water
As part of the assessment process, the K-factor is used for the first estimate of erodibility depending on the soil type. The K-factor includes soil properties such as...
